I like the idea of avoiding 2 on 1's, but I agree with Mike that there might be arguments about who plays. How about this crazy idea instead. Keep the seeding based on average q points, and allow teams to volunteer to play extra matches. SOme system would have to be worked out to organize this but I think it could work. If you can not at least make your bot move when it's time for your match, you get 0 QP's and go back to the pits. Which ever volunteer bot is on deck then gets thrown in and has an extra match going towards their QP average.

I haven't put much thought at all into this idea (in fact I think it might be stolen from another post a while back), so I'll stop here and see if anybody wants to run with it.

P.J.
