What happened in the tenth (GTR-W 2012)? 3161 racked up 20 coopertition points to eke them out on qualification points and get #1 seed. 1114 was #2, 2056 was #7...and obviously there was no way those two were going to end up paired in eliminations at that point. The former got silver with 3161, the latter got gold.
In summary: Don't like the 1114-2056 combo? Outrank them.

Or perform well enough so that 1114 or 2056 would think they would have a better chance of winning with you than with the other. 1114 and 2056 don't always choose each other when given the opportunity. Think IRI.
