Re: 3 Teams Per Side Too Many?

The issue I see with four team alliances, it that it could really water down the elimination rounds. Eighth seed pickings are slim enough at small regionals with only three team alliances.

At the championship, there are so many good teams to pick from that often times the eighth seed looks just as intimidating as the first, but at many of the smaller regionals the eighth seed doesn't have much of a chance.

Back to the topic. I liked having more teams on the field. I think a 2 vs. 2 vs. 2 game would be interesting, although 3 vs. 3 was good too. It allowed more teams to play more matches. It was fun to be able to play with more different teams at each competition.
