Alliance Selection Terminology
So I've heard and seen the phrases "2nd pick" and "3rd pick" but the labeling that they've been attached to didn't seem quite right. I may be wrong about this, but I'm pretty sure the Alliance captain doesn't count as a pick; so their first alliance partner should be called the "1st pick" right? And their 2nd alliance partner the 2nd time around should be "2nd pick".

IE: 1114 (Captain) picks 2056 (1st pick) to be on their alliance for elims, and then picks 1241 (2nd pick). And if was IRI or a similar event, they would pick a back-up robot, 610 (3rd pick).

Is this correct? Or am I just applying too much logic to labels already forged into place?
