This will probably be like blasphemy to some but i would like to see someday all the teams participate in the eliminations. I know time constraints would be one problem and how would you divide up the teams another. Maybe based just on rank with team 1 getting 9,team 2 getting 10 and so on. It could be run like wrestling were if you lose one match you drop into a second tier and can work your way back up to the top. Lose two matches and go home. Just a thought. It looks like you are having four teams on an alliance. Do they all have to play?
