i don't know where you're getting the idea that i'm on a super elite amazing team. we're an average team. we've had great years, we've had bad years. 2013 was incredible for us, 2014 was meh. 2011 was not great, 2012 was pretty good.

I believe that seed number is not the only factor going into what alliance # you will be on. In fact, it's FAR from the BIGGEST factor. 2012, we were seeded in the 30s. We got picked for #3 alliance. Our own team was surprised, except for a select few who was showing the teams what we could do despite our poor ranking.

I don't mean to sound rude, but seeding should not be your primary goal, it should be performance that you can show statistics and strategy about to other teams and convince them you are a good pick. And then back up your argument on the field.
i think he meant during the matches, when the #8 seed faces against the #1 seeded teams, usually having the #8 seeded teams destroyed by them, this happened to us last year at our district comp at Ellensburg, our #8 seeded alliance losing by about 70ish points to the #1 seeded alliance, and im sure other teams have had this also.
