Sounds like a good idea to me. The rankings would have to be locked maybe 3 matches beforehand in order to give the teams a chance to get to the proper side of the staging area and collaborate with ally, etc.
At nationals in 2002, we were ranked #1 for our division for most of qualifications. This was in part because we had one great ally after another, all who could score enormous amounts of balls quickly. With this new system, we wouldn't have had the good allies time after time, while other teams were never fortunate enough to get any good ally.
Well, g2g
