While I don't mean to diminish the accomplishments of 233/2056, it's well known (at least in the Fantasy FIRST world) that 233 teamed up with 179 in Florida for several of their wins and 2056 teamed up with 1114 in several of their wins.
I wonder if there's any merit in stipulating 'unique regional alliance pairings', where 2 members of a winning alliance have never allied before. Someone call Booz|Allen and tell them we need a consult...

233 and 179 paired up in 2005, 2009, and 2011. They won all three times (their FIRST info page seems to have them losing in the finals in 2005, when they in fact won).
Pink won Florida without 179 in 2008. All of their non Florida victories (Colorado, Boston, Washington DC, Hawaii, New York, PNW) came without 179.
By that same logic, 1114 shouldn't be as highly accredited because they they keep winning with either 2056 or 1503.
