I'm going to get this on a gigantic sign and hang it in the pit at champs. If you wan to get picked, be nice! Be friendly! Show that you're competent! Make sure your drive team is closely connected with scouting, so that you can develop well-founded strategies.

Sadly, this isn't always the case. I've seen the 7th highest scoring team at an event go unpicked while teams who scored ~25 points per match got first picked by low seed captains who desperately need all the scoring power they can get. Mistakes happen, and good teams sometimes get forgotten. I suppose I was a little harsh with my first post. Talking to teams is okay to get your name out there, but don't try to get yourself on a picklist, because you'll probably just get taken off whatever list you were on. Talk about what you do and why you'd work well on an alliance, but don't haggle.
