Re: Alliance Selection and Driver Selection Location.

For quals, I would have to agree it is 100% up to FMS to maintain fairness. But the issue arises in elims, when position is based on pick order, not a randomizer. Further, two alliances (1 and 6) don't have to worry about their teams being robust in driver station position because they will be either always red or always blue respectively. Everyone else has to keep in mind that in one level of the bracket or another their alliance color may change. This hasn't been a problem in other games because the field was rotationally symmetrical.
