Ah, the good old days where your match schedule didn't just tell you your color, but which field you were on.
I know at least one of the Disney years had the top 5 robots get pits at the top of the stands - probably '96? Of course, that was back in double elimination time, so I don't know how'd they choose a top 5. It's amazing what time does to memories. Must have been 99 then when the first alliances were formed.
