Jockeying for position

FIRST has addressed the problem of teams fighting over starting position by making the lower seeded alliance set up on the field first. This solution works well at the regionals, and will be fine in the division finals, but there are potential problems when the "final four" division champions come together. It is possible in these matches for two alliances with the same seed ranking to come play one another. FIRST needs to set a precedent for determining who sets up first in this scenario, otherwise we very well could have some bad backs from team members moving their robots side to side during pre-match setup.

Any thoughts and possible solutions?
