Yawn, for the 4th tournament, why don't you just give BoB a few Motherships for free.
This isn't anti-BoB. This is anti-one-alliance-winning-all-PVP-tournaments. As people above have said: teams fielding uber-rare ships; battles drawing down to who looses structure first; drama and scandal; and the like, have all been more entertaining than simply having the floor wiped with no losses.
Props to CCP for changing to a points structure in order to try and have more varied teams. But it was let down by the whole "release a major patch one week before a tournament, so test server is full of people trying out ship setups", and "let's use an unreliable streaming server"
It was a dead cert that BoB would win this, hence why IRON didn't bother wasting the 4bn or whatever it was as an entrance fee.

I think that pretty much voids your right to complain tbh.
I think we've been around long enough to both be entitled to our opinions. Even if they differ.
4bn buys a lot of ships though, when compared to sinking 4bn+ into a tournament that most people have pre-determined the winner of.

Soooo,
Out of curiosity...
Why was it a deadcert that BoB would win out of the 40 teams there?
dbp
Other than winning the first two tournaments, your policy of inviting only the best PvP'ers, the raft of T2 BPO's you own, and the billions upon billions of ISK you have to back your pilots? Nothing 
And as Loxy said, a few unexpected teams in the semi-finals. I watched a few of IAC's matches (when I could get a decent connection) and I enjoyed them. But at the end of the day you were likely to win this tournament (as you did do), if not then at least get to the final.
