Answered: Clarification of <T03> and 3rd match robots

[CH314]

The rule:
<T03> During matches, two teams from an alliance will play on the field. Any team which sits out the first match in an elimination series, must play in the second match, with no exceptions. Prior to each elimination match, the alliance captain must let the referee know which two teams will be playing in
the upcoming match.

My Question:
What if a 3rd match is necessary? The way I read the rule, the robots do not have to "switch out" again. This rule only applies to the the first 2 matches. Therefore, a robot could "sit out" the 2nd and 3rd matches and this would be legal.

There are no rules specifying which robots must play in the 3rd match. In the event that a 3rd match is played, the alliance may choose whichever two robots they'd like to play.

The intent of this rule is that every robot on an alliance gets at least one chance to play in an elimination series.
