Just as a note:

As far as I am aware, at most offseason events, it is the event committee, or such members as are actually present, who are responsible for determining the alliance selection to be used. While the FTA/FTAA may be on that committee, the responsibility generally falls on the committee as a whole--and more particularly on the spokesperson for that committee--to determine, and especially announce, decisions of this nature.




As another note, I am aware of at least one event with no less than FOUR plans for playoffs/eliminations, all publicly posted, covering any number of teams starting at 12 and going up to "so how many showed up this year?". (On the other hand, I have seen that event modify on the fly because time was not their friend--but they'll announce to all teams, and it's because of time not number of teams.)
