I'm guessing that a Week 1 district event will be different from most regionals and even later districts, but few teams I saw or worked with had time to talk to one another long before the match. I had one pre-queue alliance meeting in 12 qualifiers. Mostly we met and talked to our alliance in queue. Then I'd either talk to the opposing drivers queued with us or cross the field during setup and ask. It's a brief conversation; usually "Do you guys wanna Co-Op?" followed by a "Yes, 45 seconds/if.../we'll go first/lower for us" or just "No (sorry)".

To be honest, I don't really remember who turned us down this past weekend or why. I started to track it, but so much of it ended up being "we've tipped 3 times in a row" or "we're probably not going to move", that I just let the 'no's slide. I suspect teams will be better prepared in Week 4, so I'll track the reasoning more closely then.
