^This!

Additionally if there are only 8 good teams at such an event, River Rage is a no picking inside the top 8, you have one good robot on an alliance and two not so great robots with them and it makes it extremely dull to watch and harder to win.

1-8, 8-1 is one of the best methods unless you have an extremely deep field like IRI where picking 1-8, 1-8 leads to some pretty even alliances of great teams surprisingly.
