Re: Alliance picking
I began to have an inferiority complex at the Toronto regional, as our rookie team finished well out of the top eight (16th seed I believe).
So, when the top 8 took the stage and began picking each other, the rest of the teams started to move up, but we were still at the back of the line.
Then, as the 2nd round of picks was being gobbled up, I began to say "Hey, we're pretty good too!".
Then, as the 3rd round picks started, we were picked by the #1 team. So, heck, I didn't care if we made it in the 2nd or 3rd round....and we got picked by the #1 team.
He....he..... and then we went on to win the whole enchilada with them!
So, yes, I think the current system works great. All throughout the qualifying matches, each team has the same clear mission to get as high up the ladder as they can.
