Oh yeah, I remember that.
I more meant like, say, 1675 is ranked 6th at a regional but knows their robot broke in the last match and is "unfixable" -- are they forced to remain an alliance captain and leave 2 unwitting alliance members to a backup bot? Or can they "graciously" step out of contention and have each other team move up a seed?
