Re: Next Year's Game?

2v2v2 would probably result in 4v2.

A little story that has been told before:

In 1998 (the last year of 1v1v1), there was an interesting occurrence. Top seeds on Friday didn't make it into the elimination rounds. None of them. FIRST started examining the matches and noted that the two lower-seeded teams were ganging up on the higher seed and causing them to lose. This could not be shown to be intentional, by the way, but was what was observed. 2v1 sound fair? (Well, unless you get 67 or 71 or 217 as the 1, but even then...)

So in 1999, the announcement was made that since collusion could not be prevented, it would be required. Meet the alliance system!
