Re: What would happen if the #1 alliance captain gets denied by every team

This is an interesting point... It's not explicitly stated in the rules. It is, however, strongly implied in section 10.5.1.

The ALLIANCE selection process consists of two (2) rounds during which each ALLIANCE CAPTAIN invites a Team seeded below them in the standings to join their ALLIANCE. The invited Team must not already have declined an invitation.
Quote:
If the Team accepts, it becomes a member of that ALLIANCE. If an invitation from a top eight ALLIANCE to another ALLIANCE Lead is accepted, all lower ALLIANCE Leads are promoted one spot. The next highest-seeded, unselected Team moves up to become the ALLIANCE Eight Lead.
Quote:
The same method is used for each ALLIANCE CAPTAIN’S second choice except the selection order is reversed, with ALLIANCE Eight picking first and ALLIANCE One picking last. This process results in eight (8) ALLIANCES of three (3) Teams each.
I bet a Q&A on this would result in an update to the rules, probably in the first section I quoted above. Something like "The invited Team must not already have declined an invitation or be part of an ALLIANCE with 1 or more teams."
