Re: Serpentine Draft

Cool idea, but consider this situation

Team A 1st pick 8th seed
Team B 2nd pick 2nd seed
Team C 3rd pick 1st seed
Team D 4th pick 3rd seed
Team E 5th pick 6th seed
Team F 6th pick 4th seed
Team G 7th pick 5th seed
Team H 8th pick 7th seed

Team A can now pretty easily employ the scorched earth strategy by picking the first, second, and third seed. One of them would either have to join the alliance with the 8 seed or be left unable to pick one another. Cool idea, but I don't see why a team would allow for this possibility. Plus, this year at the 3 events I've been to, the #1 alliance made it to the finals all three times, and won twice.
