What if it was 3 alliances of 2, except everyone's partner was on the other side, but we had some inefficient way to communicate, causing the teams to really have to plan and stick to their plan. We would loose the cooperation in person that we are used to, but we would learn how to communicate in situations that aren't ideal. I'm not sure why they would do this, especially since only two teams would win, and it wouldn't make sense for them to create space for more teams in St. Louis.
