Now, the question we considered later: Say 1st time through, every team picks their alliance mate #1.

Then, 2nd time through seed #1 picks seed #2, who already has an alliance mate.
1- would this be allowed to happen?
2- what would happen to the alliance mate?
then they wouldn't be able to choose #2 because #2 is already part of an alliance....it only works if you pick them BEFORE they have a partner....

simple explanation the whole thing
you are one of the top 8 you can decline an offer and still pick
you are not one of the top 8 you can decline, but if you do not end up moving up into the top 8 you are done
if you do move up to the top 8....you can pick....gl ppl
