Re: 2009 Tournament Structure.

I noticed this yesterday and mostly agree.

Aside from that, I don't think they will be capable of lowering the total number of robots in a match lower than 6 for scheduling reasons. Because of the relatively inflexible field shape, I doubt they will switch to a 2v2v2, unless the partners are opposite eachother. A differently shaped field will cause issues for audience/judge visibility, regional floor space, team cueing, alliance fairness (as far as seeing the screen etc.). Also, a 2v2v2 will make it very unfair to alliances with missing/dead robots. Not to mention how the tournement and elimenations would be structured.

I think any fundemental changes will be in the way the game works and is strucutred, perhaps in conjunction with a different ranking system, maybe elimenating or reducing competition from the game.
