There's some cool benefits to not having win / loss / tie before the finals, and this doesn't get rid of those, but it does get rid of the one-mistake-and-you're-out nature of elims.
I agree with this. We had a 0 point match at SVR that dropped us 10 places in quals. Our elevator carriage had literally popped out of the rails after our elevator arms tried to go down with a tote beneath it. If that happened in elims that would be really bad.
