This also allows alliance members to fix their robots and miss a match, without being penalized with not being able to play for the rest of the tournament.

Oh, you mean have Alliances be composed of the number of robots on an alliance + 1... like it used to be? The rules used to specify that you had to play 100% of your alliance in any given elimination round. If you didn't use a team in one round you MUST use them in the next. At the Championship event it might be doable but at the smaller regionals finding 8 alliances of 4 teams is impossible. Yes doing it just at CMP would be an option but the real question is whether you want to have different game play rules at one event.

(Btw, I like this idea for CMP)
