What happens if you play back-back matches during the round robin 3 matches?
Some teams at IE were rushing to get going again because of this.
Well 5.6.6 in the game manual says that in the playoffs if an alliance plays back to back matches, the Head Ref WILL issue a field timeout. This doesn't just apply in the finals, but in the semis and quarters as well. So if required to play back to back, there will be a 6 minute field timeout in between.
