Lovin' the All Teams Play Elim Rules...

[Joe Johnson]

I just realized the implications of the new "Every team on the alliance must play in every round of the elimination tourney" Rule.

This is going to add yet another level of strategy to this year's game.

Basically, the same teams that play in the first match of a best of 3 round cannot play in the second match (because then there is the potential for an alliance team to miss out playing before the round is over). So, both alliances have to make a substitution.

The big question is, do you put your best pair out in the first round OR do you put your second best pair out first? What will the other alliance do? What do you do if the 2nd best beats their second best in round 2 after our 1st lost to their 1st in round 1, do we switch horses or go with the winners?

Questions questions...

Cool...

Very Cool...
