Those wacky Texans.
At the lone Star Regional, there was a possibility that team 118 might have been in either one of the two described situations - the way that it was explained to us:
If a team seeds eighth, is chosen by the top seed and declines, they can still be chosen by any of seeds two through seven and accept.
If a team seeds ninth, is picked by #1 and declines, they are now out of the finals, no matter what.
If, on the other hand, a team seeds ninth, #1 picks #5, and the team is now the eighth alliance captain, they fall under the first described situation, and can decline and accept to their heart's content.

This was the way it was explained to me. I made sure, because it didn't seem to make sense that the order the picks occured in would matter so much, but I verified it, and that was the way it was to be run at LSR. I doubt that it will be this way at nationals, but one never knows.
