I do agree that time is a factor, but I would rather have a 2 or 3 minute limit and allow cell phones/computers/smoke signals/white boards. Having teams shout their team number or having student looking at the screen completely lost on who to pick, does not make anyone look good; just not very professional looking, in my opinion.
They do not randomly select which alliance captain selects next. It seems to me like it would've been a non-issue if your AC had gotten a text from the stands while the pick prior to yours was in progress. If you are prepared, surely you could send him a list of two teams, so he/she has a backup in case the first choice got selected by the alliance prior to yours? Is there some other issue that prevents this?
