Actually they have to care to keep the sponsors they have now, IOW to keep the
tournament interesting enough. IMO Jorges proposal would help to achieve that.
If I were one of the current sponsors, I'd consider to withdraw my sponsoship
after such a show.

So they can be glad if they get two programs to participate (or any other idea
to avoid so many draws) and cannot demand sponsorship money for that. Actually a
strong program's team could demand an appearance fee! :-)) Because they could
guarantee more attractive fights in most of the games.
