So A team from one alliance and B team from another enter the field (although working together, so same team really), A team opens fire as B team sits idly while their ships are destroyed...outcome predetermined by leaders of the two alliances...is within the rules?

It's only perceived within the rules if you 'fight'. Sitting stationary is illegal. Under current rules you can share tactics, ships and setups with each other so you could just arrange beforehand that A-team flies a comp that beats what the B-team is flying easily - A's Rock to B's Scissors. This allows you to predetermine who will win without having broken any of CCPs rules. I think this demonstrates how absurd the situation really is. Considering the numerous ways Hydramel could have done what they've done legitimately, but didn't, I can only conclude that the team captains just wanted to cheat. That's unless DHB made it all up. In which case they didn't cheat but yeah....comedic set of rules.
At this point we have to assume that u colluded with both teams aswell since your setups lost.

I think CCP should investigate if there wasnt any foul play involved in the PL losses, losing againts both teams is pretty fishy since PL cant possibly be worse than Hydras.

That only works when the 3 teams have already agreed to pool the prizes and split evenly. As that hasn't happened, your logic has failed.
How is it a requirement to share prices to collude?

Because you need to gain something from it, not demonstrate stupidity like you're doing. I've had to deal with some pretty weak arguments in my time, but come on man, did you fall out of a 3rd storey window and feel the urgent need to start poasting?
I dont really see how any of the teams ~gains~ something from dropping to losers bracket and having to fight an additional series +disedvantage in finals.

Some people seem to forget that at no point was it set in stone that both teams reach the finals, putting yourself intentionally at a disedvantage for possibly just 14 price ships and shame of lose is pretty stupid. Especially considering hoe much time each of the teams put into this. Until investigation comes to conclusion give them benefit of the doubt, until now we seen only some pasted chat lines and many claims.

The best teams get into the winner's bracket. They betted on getting one team through in the winner's bracket with skill, they better on getting one through in the losers bracket with effort. They also did it because they wanted to ensure they didnt have to do any fishy buisness until the finals when they would face each other and the matches were irrelevant. The sooner one team goes down to the loser's bracket, the less chance they have of facing bigger teams until later on. This means they dont have to show any more setups than they have to against the smaller teams. This isnt some kind of conspiracy theory, they did almost the exact same thing last year. And guess what, when they got banned for colluding with outbreak, they did the exact same thing too.
Except there is no pattern there, actually. Outbreak dropped to losers bracket after their third match in AT IX, last year HYDRA dropped to losers after their fourth match, this year they dropped to losers after their fifth match. If at all they try to remain as long as possible in winners and not drop to losers.
