Steve Rourke vs. John V-Neun: 3rd Annual Championship Wager

It's taken some negotiation, but here's the deal this year. Steve wants his signed Canadian $20 back from last year's loss. John prefers to add to his net worth this year. Will John get richer, or will Steve be able to buy a nifty FIRST T-Shirt when John returns the loot from last year???

Steve's position: The championship alliance will have 3 scoring robots. The lowest scoring member of the alliance will score more than 4.5 tubes in total over the two winning matches.

John's position: The championship alliance will most likely have 3 scoring robots. But the lowest scoring member of the alliance will score less than 4.5 tubes in total over the two winning matches.

(Obviously if the winning alliance has a ramp-only 'bot then I'm in the ditch, but I feel it's a necessary risk to get my $20 back. And besides, I took counsel from Karthik on this one -- so I'm feeling confident!)
