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.

This is commonly because many better teams hope to do well in eliminations, and typically when winging alliance selections can tend to fall way out of hand. Unless your 2056 and 1114, then it is assumed before the regional that you will work together (and probably win).
