How about this then...

The following closely related question has never been fully answered to my satisfaction:

Suppose these facts:

A seeds #1
B seeds #3
C seeds #9

A picks C. C declines. A then picks B. B accepts.

Question:
Can C be a drafting team now?

I think that as the rules have been written, the answer is yes. But at various competitions, I have heard the rules explained as something like "blah, blah, blah... ...Therefore, if a team seeded 9 or higher declines the a draft, they are declining to be in the Elimination Tournament"

More opinions on this topic would be welcome...
