Problem is, that is not an accurate figure. It would be 1 until alliances started. Then 2 plus a backup if I remember correctly. In 2001 I think it was 4, then in 2002 it went back to 2+1 until alliances went to 3 in 2005. It stayed that way until 2014 when alliances picked their own backup so 2014 and 2015 should be 4. 2017 will likely be 6 or 8.... If you talk to the "old timers" there was a contingent at each of those changes that thought the changed would "ruin the FRC experience".
At least we are back to covering history.
