Tetraman is right on on that part.
Maybe 4v2 is harder to defend than 2v1... though experience I've had in Vex indicates it's about as hard for the best alliance to win.

I'd be unhappy with a 2v2v2 game unless there were offense and defense governing rules.

So... why is there a 3rd gate? What if the field is in 3 sections?
