Looks to me like Car Nack's Prediction #3 has got some folks to thinking in Manchester:
Quote:
Elimination Matches:
In Elimination Matches a slightly different system will be used. In odd numbered matches (1, 3) the lower ranked alliance (in this example they are the # 8 alliance) must declare first which robot will start on the left and right. This placement can NOT be changed once declared under any circumstance. The higher ranked (in this example they are the # 1 alliance) will get to choose which of their two robots in that match will start on the left or right side AFTER they have seen (or been notified) what starting positions the other alliance has declared. In the even numbered matches (2, and 4 if there is a need for a 4th match) the order is reversed and the higher ranked alliance must declare first while the lower ranked alliance
gets to choose their starting positions second.

Thanks to Car Nack for getting FIRST to address one potential source of confusion at the competitions...
