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

On a related note, is there any history of an alliance captain declining to be an alliance captain? That seems more likely than a tournament-wide scorched earth.
There almost was at North Star a few years ago. One of my inspectors caught a team attempting to load their trailer before alliance selection and called me over. I just barely convinced them to stick around and wait another 30 mins before loading up. They went from 11th seed to being the 8th seed captain (I think those are the right numbers). If they had left as they were planning to, no one would have even been in the building for alliance selection.
