Could alliance picks go this way
Have an inquiry and didn't find a rule to go by.
Basic question, can a team pick another alliance captain on the way back down? So team 1 picks 2, 3 now 2 picks 7, yada yada to 8 then back down 3 now two picks 44 THEN 1 invites 3 now 2. 3 now 2 has not been invited by another, so has not refused any invite, can they accept? The further quandary, if yes, do all alliance captains move up 1 position, leaving their picks behind? |

This is kind of hard to follow, but no, once someone is an alliance captain they can't be selected by another team.

Another conundrum is the rules don't explicitly say you cannot accept multiple invitations to be a member of an alliance. IE the rules only says you ineligible to accept an invitation if you have declined one. Maybe ask Q&A about this next year. Realistically though your head referee's word is final. You are not going to get a lot of time (if any) to discuss it. :) |

While I appreciate the head ref decision, I think this need be answered by actual rule rather than a time pressured individual. |

Interestingly, the FTC rules cover this scenario very explicitly and clearly (and would work even with the serpentine selection rules of FRC):

When people talk about "lawyering the rules," discussions like this is what they're referring to. Every FRC veteran understands the alliance selection process. Why are FRC veterans now trying to find a way to break it?
