Re: Alliance picking

One selection method you might want to add to the poll is a serpentine draft (all you fantasy sport and FF addicts know about this). This is where the #1 seed gets the first pick in the first round. It works its way down to the #8 seed who gets the last pick in the first round. Then the #8 seed gets the first pick in the second round (i.e. two consecutive picks #8 and #9 overall). It works its way up to the #1 seed who gets the last overall pick.

I like the alliance selection the way it is but a serpentine draft would be interesting. The first quarterfinal match would be:
2 studs and a sleeper vs. 3 solid bots
Who would win? I think there would definitely be more upsets
