We also had to decline 2228 (#5 captain) who was great, but we thought pairing with 3015 and 378 was the perfect alliance to have a shot at finals. The decline was a stressful decision because we needed both teams to have the best chance at gold, and either could have been picked before we got the chance. I think this move was only successful because of the depth and parity of skill of the teams at FLR. There weren't really any huge outliers so any alliance had a shot. But 2015 was a pretty distinct year for alliance selection strategy and its effect on finishing position. This and years other than 2015 will have different success rates for low ranked alliances.
