Before somebody pops up to correct me, I'll correct myself: both of those had a minimum of one "penalty scale" where somebody playing defense didn't play it smart and bail before the 20-second horn. The L.A. one had 3 non-scaling robots; Ventura had two scales and one penalty scale.

I haven't seen a true triple scale yet.

If I saw the triple-penalty-scale happen in person I probably would have died.

Really hope you guys were able to bounce back (:

Triple scales on an alliance are going to be hard to see for a little longer. You are counting on a large enough pool of scalers at an event they end up grouped together unintentionally (qualifications) or intentionally (elims). You also have to count on all 3 of them working and fitting.
