Not every other FTC regional... they did it right in Washington.
There was a small problem in Washington, though. Last year we only had a dozen or so robots in the tournament, so there weren't enough teams to make eight alliances of three each for the Eliminations. The solution was to just pick 2-team alliances for Eliminations. Most of the last-year's teams were not prepared to pick a third alliance partner because of this (failing to read and remember the manual, I suppose), and were surprised that there were three 'bots per alliance. Another item for my mentor's checklist: Remind the team to completely re-read the rules about two weeks before an event, just to make sure.
