OK, let us know how it works out.

You probably already took into account that if I'm a team focused on winning, even if my alliance gets beaten by 100 to nothing in a match, I might decide to protest a minor call, just hoping to trigger a rematch.

Similarly, if I haven't used my protest(s) yet, I might automatically protest any/every loss that would take my alliance out of the eliminations, hoping to trigger a replay.

If I'm especially mischievous, I might purposefully create some sketchy situations, just so that I can increase my chances of having an opportunity to successfully protest a call.

If these scenarios are something you want to discourage, to avoid slow-downs, I'm not sure how you can do it.
