To be honest, we were discussing either 254 or 1114.
We were informed that 254 would decline us, (and because they were second seed, it wouldn't do anything to disrupt them) and we didn't think that 111 would decline us.
We felt we had a better chance of winning with 1114. We knew that 254 and 111 would then pair together, but we had no way of stopping it, unless we let 254 and 1114 pair together.
We thought it was the "lesser of two evils", so to say.
Note: None of these teams were, in ANY way, bad. It's just what our anecdotal scouting data told us. (We couldn't scout. Our team consisted of 6 students, including the drive team.)
