the rules are clear
Each team has the responsibility of knowing the rules for alliance pairings. At the 2 regional events I have been to, this rule was clearly discussed during the event in front of everyone and it was reiterated more than once "what it means to decline". I feel sorry for team 505, but they should have known and if they weren't sure they should have asked someone. This is the one thing that FIRST has been clear on from the start (much unlike entanglement).
