I was with 5254 when they played at the HERE (Hoboken Engineered Robotics Event) offseason competition where we played 2v2 matches through all of quals and then did 3v3 in eliminations. It was a ton of fun, and while different from typical competition I think the 2v2 matches were actually more fun to play in. The strategic decisions are a bit different but overall simpler which I think is great for teams training/testing new drivers. I personally enjoyed the change of pace from the typical 3v3 game. It was a 15 team competition and even with 2v2 matches we could barely keep up with the pace. It was a bit hectic but a lot of fun, with 3v3 matches in this event I think it would run teams way to hard.

This is an offseason competition where most teams will be running new drivers and pit crew with robots nearing the end of their life cycle, it wasn't official to being with.
2v2 matches are a way to get a lot more playing robots and having fun in and having played in them before I highly recommend them for this size and kind of event.
