Not sure that that would have worked, but it may have leveled the field for us
Thoughts??
That is definitely a viable strategy. We saw it happen in NYC. The #1 seed picked the #3, #4, #5 & #6 teams.....and got turned down (which they were fairly sure would happen). So they then had effectively locked those teams into creating their own alliances.

Maybe I've just noticed it more but this year in particular the strategy of selecting your alliance partners, while blocking others has become a key and often overlooked detail.
