Re: FRC Blogged - What Do You Think? The ‘Invite to Decline’ Strategy
Like the others above, I don't have any problems with the existing alliance selection process. I think the rules are the best option available. If it switched to 1-8,1-8 instead of 1-8,8-1, I could live with it but I prefer the system we have.

Maybe it could be 1-8,1-8 for regional/world championship events and serpentine for regional and district events.

I'd also like to add that I really like the 3rd round of selections that IRI has. I think it would be cool of FIRST added that, at least at the Championship level. Teams draft their own backup robots and can start any three robots they want. I'll point out that if this turned into a rule where you were forced to play the backup bot in at least one match (like in FTC), I would no longer favor drafting a 3rd partner.
