EDIT: The audience selection will be picked first. (Realized I was reading "Round" as "Match" in the manual which makes me MUCH less worried about cycle time than I originally thought.)

There are 4 categories of defense and one of each must be represented on the field. The match schedule will tell the teams A,B,C,D - which will be selected by the audience per round - cycle by which every team has played one match.

EX: ROUND 1 - B, then ROUND 2 will be C, ROUND 3 - D, ROUND 4 - A and so on...

The audience will have selected a piece that will last until all teams have played with it. Then it will get switched out. They will know to plan their strategy using the other three categories.

Then matches prior to a match (by the end of Match 2), teams must submit their defense selections from categories B, C, and D and positions to the Defense Coordinator. Then the Defense coordinator exchanges the information and teams have Match 3 to make a strategy knowing the other team's selections.
