Matt,

Your example is wrong. Check it out below.

: The first two matches (A plays one and B plays one) are to decide who gets to "set the bar" (using Team 126's terminology, THANKS AGAINS FOR PICKING US!!!).

: Lets say A got a higher score than B in those first matches. A scores "60" in its next match. B, to stay in the finals, MUST get higher than "60" points. Then, if this happens, A must get higher than that score to "stay alive". It keeps going until one team can't top the other (by "team", I mean "alliance&quot.

This is not true!!

Goto Rule T12, Scenario 1

Match 1, Alliance A scores 100. Match 2 Allaince B scores 90. So Alliance A plays in Match 3 because it scored more points in Match 1. In Match 3 Alliance A scores 65.

Now Alliance B must score more than 100 to stay alive. In the scenario Team B scores 99. Alliance A is declared the winner.

There is no first round, second round, third round this year. Once match 1 and 2 are played, the alliance that scored fewer points has ONE chance in Match 4 to best the higher score.

It's weird!!

This is correct.

: : Team A goes first and scores 100.
: : Team B goes next and scores 95.
: : Team A scored higher so they go next and score 60.
: : Team B must score more than 100 for the round to continue. So even if Team be scores 95 again they would still be eliminated.
