Re: Alliance Request
Of our five years at Bayou, the only time we were picked for an alliance was our second worst seed (#42 of 57). Our selection (by the #2 seed) was largely due to "reverse scouting" by our drive captain. When it became obvious on Friday afternoon that we were not going to seed high, she approached high seed teams to see what they would be looking for in a second pick. She found a need that we could fill, and Saturday morning, we showcased that capability (ability to flip totes and get to an RC on the step) rather than going for the points. IIRC, the extra RC we delivered and the totes we scored were the margin of victory in every match throughout eliminations.
There are many roads to success; recognizing them and acting is the key.
Whatever you do, do not annoy selecting teams - the last thing you want to do is get on a "do not pick list" because of personnel friction.
