I would agree, as I fail to see the problem with this. Shouldn't the top 8 best robots be the top 8 seeds and pick their strategically-determined alliances accordingly? Most of the robots at IRI are high caliber, and if they can prove their worth, will play in eliminations. You don't always need to be an alliance captain to do well.
Second, I think Holtzman said it perfectly. 2056 is long, but if they go undefended, they have a great chance at winning IRI. Travis, 48 has a great robot as always in addition to great strategy. Effectively countering a triple by means of a 21 point lead and a double seems entirely likely. People seem to be complaining about the luck of the draw schedule-at IRI, you can usually trust your partners. Once again: Stop Whining.
