As far as who should win or not, try feeding me that story after you get knocked out of the WSOBP next year by a player hitting back and middle row cups against you for 2 or 3 rollbacks in a row.

three in the back and one in front

Three in the back with one in the front is definitely "The Firing Squad"... the layout and parallels are too good.  Of course the point is to always put the dead man out of his misery.

It's definitely "The one eyed monster" that needs to be slayed.

I realize it may be a little late for this year, but I would like to say that I am not a big fan of the cups currently in use.
 
There is almost no rim on them at all. Basically you can just throw the ball randomly up in the air, and it is likely to splash somewhere.
 
To me it is kind of frustrating to play against people that don't have much skill, but instead throw floaters and then get lucky with 3 or 6 balls in a row by hitting scattered and back row cups, and I feel that the current equipment encourage this sort of luck factor and discourage aiming.
 
Now let me say I am NOT SUGGESTING WE USE 18OZ SOLO CUPS.
I am going to compare them to 18oz solo because that is what I have on hand.

Going by this, if you randomly throw a ball within that red zone drawn above, the RK16 have 59.65% chance of being made by a random ball, and the 18 oz solo have 57.45% chance of being made by a random ball.
 
Essentially the 18oz cup has only a 3.6% larger mouth, but nearly twice the lip-gap between cups. (The solo don't narrow on the bottom, so they're also less likely to tip over but of course more liquid can fix that)
 
Now I have made some mistakes in the past, so anybody can feel free to correct me here - but either way it seems obvious that the thin black line separating the RK16 is tiny.
 
The non-rim on the RK16 seems to be so lethal, that it's more likely reward skill-less floater shots than larger cups.
 
On top of that, if you're aiming for a specific cup -- you're LESS likely to hit the RK16 because you aim for a smaller area.
 
So in summary it seems the RK16 may be harder when it comes down to last cup, but for the other 9 cups in the game they're working against anybody that aims.
 
I am not suggesting that we use 18oz, they are just what I had on hand to measure.
Is it perhaps possible for future years to get a 16oz cup
 
that has a wider rim to separate the cups from one another?

Foster, if you had been knocked out before the final day in any of the WSOBP's I might see your point.  However, I think Baker is right.  If you make it to the last day, all of those teams can play descent enough and the cups are not gonna matter at that point.
