i'm not sure what you mean in the first part of your question. obviously, there's the stuff in the agenda (speeches, field and KOP presentation, etc.), and depending on where you are, there may also be mini-competitions and workshops.
as far as alliances go, i have no idea what this year could bring (we'll find out in 10 hours or so), but in the past, during seeding matches, alliances were picked randomly by a computer. during finals the top eight teams select additional teams (the number of which varies based on the year/game) for their alliances.
