Re: IRI - 2015 Rule Modification Ideas?
I'm not sure if this has been addressed yet in this thread, I'm not going to read all 15some pages but from what I have read I have seen "Bring back best of three eliminations" mentioned a bunch of times.

I'm as opposed to this average business as the next guy, don't get me wrong, but a best of three elimination bracket does not work for this game. If it were a different game, sure, I would agree. However the isolation of each alliance doesn't make it a clear cut "Team A vs Team B - Team A won so team A is better". While team A may be better then team B, team B may be better then team C and D.

Sure, that can be the case in any other game too, but the key difference is alliance interaction, of which this game has none. To truly send the better teams forward in the 'playoffs' I believe the averages are necessary until only two teams remain.
