Re: Is alliance selection usually this bad?

I cannot comment for FRC but I think alliance selection can get disappointing in FTC. Despite different competitions I do see some trends in both competitions in this subject of matter.

In the NorCal FTC tournament, a few outstanding teams did not get chosen for alliance selection and a few bad teams were chosen instead. Part of this is due to the randomness of competition. Even for teams considered the best, things don't always go as expected.

I think the tube starvation situation is one that contributes to the randomness, so it requires high levels of strategy.
