FIRST abandoned 1v1v1 because the 2 weaker teams would gang up on the strong team. I don't see 3v3v3 being much different, unless they somehow came up with a game that discouraged that.
I don't like 4v4 because it further reduces the contribution of one robot to the overall alliance. You may get more matches but the outcome of each match depends even more on your alliance partners, so it may make the rankings an even poorer judge of skill. (Edit: Same as what Bongle said)
