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

When it came time for alliance selection they were seeded #1, but no one wanted to be their partners so they got declined by basically all of the other alliance captains.
What was sad was I believe this exact same situation happened to this team at two different events that year.

That's not what this thread talks about - the situation you're describing isn't all that rare (a handful of events a year have more than 1 decline). This thread is describing the situation where, after all of the captains decline, all of the non-captains also remove themselves from the tournament by declining. Obviously this will never happen.
