Is this correct? Does every alliance need to play their backup or just the winning alliance?

I hope it is the latter. I would hate to lose a really close 1st match and then be forced to play my backup and lose.

Also, what's the penalty if you don't? You'll... lose the tournament?

I'd like to know what the clarification is on this.

[wheezy voice] In the old days... [/wheezy voice] of 2v2 when we drafted backup robots the rule was you couldn't advance unless you played both robots. Therefore, if you lost you didn't have to change.
