I'm not so hot about the A,B,C game setup. Coordinating with an alliance partner is one of the most unique aspects of the FIRST competition. In a free-for-all game setup, there will be lots of "unofficial alliances" being formed. Teams that know eachother will gang up on the third team. Also, high ranked teams will be ganged up on to knock them down. It would start to resemble the strategic aspects of "Survivor" more so than a FIRST competition (back-stabbing, "flying under the radar", informal agreements and such). The cut-throat, lying, manipulating teams would make it to the top. Also, eliminations would be rather tricky to configure, and the whole idea of draft-picking would be eliminated. 2v2 is exciting, and it works.
