I just want to point out that in a scenario where champs tickets depended on what order you were added to your alliance you could send perfectly good teams who may be better all around than those who picked them to the wrong place.

I realize I said seed instead of pick order. Basically the alliance captain may not be more "high level" than the first or second pick and ranking on that metric is somewhat unreliable.
