FIRST will have little choice but to declare co-champion alliances, which is apparently what they want to do in two years anyway. (Please don't let it come to this.)
Sadly, there would still only be 3 matches. After all of the tie breakers in a match comes the "random" selector so FMS would just arbitrarily pick a winner. Who wants to see how random their random function actually is?

(I am absolutely not advocating for this. I think we, the community, need to find a way to resolve these issues without interfering with the students learning.)
