Here's my math:
(low bar locked)*(8 possible audience selections***)* [6*4*2]^(2 alliances) = 18432
*** Explanation of 8 possible audience selections: In any round of 6-12 matches, depending on the event, there are only 2 choices. However, overall, there are 8 different possible defenses that can go into that 3rd slot, so I use 8 there. The rest of the numbers follow easily enough: 2 alliances have 6 defenses for slot 2, 4 (b/c of the groups) for slot 4, and 2 options for slot 5.

Reason: Fixed the math, should've been (6*4*2)^2. Thank you kiasam 111
