Re: Alliance Selection Terminology

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?
If you're talking about a regional, I've heard people use "2nd Pick" and "3rd Pick" interchangeably.
I usually prefer to say "2nd robot" or "3rd robot" just so that doesn't happen.
I think some people are going to get confused by that at championships this year.
