Before '99, the format was 1v1v1 double elimination until the quarter finals, at which time the tournament became 1v1. With the 1v1v1 format, there were definitely cases where a strong robot, real or perceived, was "ganged up on" by the other two. Also, it that format, there were two losers/match in the pre-quarter final part of the tournament, so about a third of the teams only played two "real" matches in an event.
