While it may not be consistant with the rules, all the matches at the NYC regional were played consistantly. The announcer was VERY clear that only the winning alliance had to switch out. I think the reasoning behind this may be that by keeping the two stronger teams in for the second match it gives the losing alliance an advantage. They would be at a disadvantage in the third match where it would now be a weaker alliance competing against an alliance that had already beaten the supposed stronger alliance.

I'm not sure if that made any sense, but the judges stuck to one set of rules. There isn't really any where to place blame. They were very clear about they way that they would be enforcing the rule.

810 - As difficult as losing is, I have to give you props for having a great rookie team. I thought we worked very well together in round 82.
