You youngin's with your 2005 rookie years.

In 2004, the final year of 2v2, three teams made up each eliminations alliance everywhere--regionals, Championship, you name it. Teams could play any two teams they chose in the first match, but whoever sat out the first match had to play in the second (working or not).

I'd love to see that make a return, at least on the Championship level.
