Re: IRI - 2015 Rule Modification Ideas?

What about a compromise that I've seen work (I know bowling in 8th grade Gym worked like this) where it is WLT played in a round robin format. In that it's round robin in terms of who plays who, but it's WLT in terms of initial ranking calculations. With such a small pool of alliances there will be ties, but those could be resolved using highest score (or average of best scores or the like).

Again, any changes would probably be a PITA to implement (unless FMS is given some sort of an option to change the structure), but in terms of "aspects that have a lot of hate" the playoff format is certainly up there.
