This is more speculation by me, but it would kinda fit if there were dynamic alliances as someone previously mentioned. This would not only explain the odd change from "Elimination matches" to "Playoff matches", because it would require a different format for these matches. It also fits in with the theory that the 3x3x60 object is a team indicator. This also would explain the replacement of the '99 game footage, sort of symbolizing a replacing of alliances, which were first in '99.

This is completely different from that theory, but I think the game piece will be some sort of inner tube, since the '97 game and '99 game both used that shape.
