If everyone at a tournament declined a pick from the number one seed, I rather suspect that someone would be on the phone to HQ as soon as they figured out that they wouldn't have enough non-declining teams to form alliances for further guidance.

And I'd rather suspect that the guidance would indicate to run selections again... probably with some announcement about how you need a full set of teams...
