Another example of similar importance is how predictable alliance selections now are. At 10:00 on Saturday the top teams all sit in corners with each other and through the act of back door deals or whatever you would like to call them many alliances are pre arranged.

Again, what about a wonky ranking system that doesn't use W/L record as a primary qualification? 6v0 in 2010 is clever match strategy that the entire alliance has to agree to participate in. I would rather have the effect of possible outcomes dictate the match strategy for any match. If 6v0 helps all members of my alliance, you bet I'm going to do it.
Also, how is finding the perfect partner for you alliance a "back door deal"? You better have a definite pick list
and ask how your potential partner would feel about an alliance well before picking starts if you are a captain.
