I think it's decided event-to-event. I've seen it both ways.

And, as we all know, rules that change from event to event are a bad thing.

FWIW, I think they may be trying to stretch <T25> and <T26> to cover alliance selection. That's not a legitimate stretch; the team reps aren't even in the alliance stations... And it can be argued that if the device in question doesn't have it's connection on, it's included in <T26> anyway.

The GDC needs to rule one way or the other. Otherwise, Archimedes captains will be complaining about Newton captains being allowed to use electronic devices during selection... Well, hopefully not that bad.
