Weren't you ranked 7th and on the 6th seeded alliance in 2013 at Central Valley? (still counts as </= 2 years as far as I'm aware.)

Just because you played the draft intelligently and ended up winning the competition with a solid robot doesn't mean you can claim a number 1 or 2 seed out of it.

Anyway, overall, rule changes are nice. I'm hoping to see some interesting strategies develop. I also have a feeling that the Chezy Champs trophies are going to look pretty cool as well...
