Re: 3 Teams Per Side Too Many?

In the very old days, it used to be 1v1v1. I don't know how they did the rankings (I was too young to be on a team that year), but I bet someone on the forum knows. Do you really want 3 alliances? I think the reason FIRST only does two is, it's less confusing for everyone. I believe that when they started doing 2v2 they said something to the effect of "Three teams is too confusing, so we will have four teams...on two alliances." (Please don't quote me on that, as it is a paraphrase more likely than not.) In effect, there are two "teams" on the field, assuming you work as a team. (If you aren't working as a team, you are working as individuals and you will get creamed. "United we stand...") I highly doubt that FIRST will return to three teams/alliances working against each other for quite a while.
