Thus, if the first three matches in an elimination round are ties, then the fourth match will be played forever, since no alliance will ever have two wins.

I think it would be much clearer to just remove everything after the line: "The first Alliance to win two matches advances."
I agree, but they must have some limitations on their scoring program that can't keep going on forever. So, I read their rule to mean that if you play more than 4 matches, the "official record" will not reflect that fact.
