They need to simplify to something similar to the TBA format.

The FRC website is actually doing this more "correctly," though neither are providing an accurate picture of what is happening. In qualifications, quarterfinals, and semifinals, neither alliance "wins." It is all based on average score for these rounds.

It would be nice if the FRC website highlighted who won the finals though, and both should more clearly highlight the teams that move on to the next round throughout playoffs.

As for Cheesy Arena:

Keep in mind that Cheesy Arena is designed for offseason events that don't have the team number signs, the team lights, emergency stop buttons, alliance station lights, SCC (alliance scoring cabinets), any game-specific field hardware (e.g. goal lights in 2014, weight sensors in 2013), ref panels, or any other miscellaneous field hardware that typical comes with a FIRST event.

It may be open source, but it also has far fewer moving parts to deal with.
