Assume 8 alliances are in the elimination rounds, and each alliance selects its own backup robot. If there were 33 teams instead of 32 teams, how many would play in elims under a serpentine system, and how many teams would play in elims under the Cow Town Throw Down System?
Whenever there are more teams than elim spots, someone will always have to sit out. The Cow Town Throw Down System does not open up the field to any more teams than an event which uses a serpentine draft does.
