Re: Alliance Captain versus last pick in Alliance Selection

And if you're getting picked at an event of any kind of size (most regionals in the southeast are well over 50 teams, sometimes over 60), it means you weren't junk to begin with. So: this.

Sincerely,

Alliance 1's last pick
Alliance 1's last pick
Alliance 2's backup
Alliance 2's last pick
