Re: Disrupting Alliances

See two posts above you for what happened in 2006.

"Scorched earth" = There's a #1 seed. For some reason or another, other teams in the top 8 don't want to be on an alliance with the first seed, so they decline invitations from the first seed. This prevents a "super alliance" from forming as the top 8 seeds cannot choose each other.
