I think there's a key difference to this year's game. There is no winning and losing until the very last match. It's not fixing a match if there's no match to be played. The goal for each alliance is to pure and simple get the most points in the match.

It sounds like the same seeding rules as 2010. What's interesting is that I don't think there was quite as much negative controversy over the 2010 6v0 compared to the 2003 one.
