Another concern I had at the competition was who the Alliance Captain has to be. During drafting the referee told us that the only person who could call timeouts and substitutions was the alliance captain. If the representative the team chooses is not on the drive team shouldn't he or she be allowed into the queing area to speak to the referee? At Boilermaker they wouldn't even let the Alliance Captain into the field area without a badge. Again there is no rule on any of this. I think defined rules for next year would make the elimination process much easier and smoother.
It is suggested at most regionals that it be a member of your drive team. And if for some reason this is not the case, then they suggest you transfer the bib.
