I don't like the idea of teams getting to choose their alliances for the Qualifying Matches, Mainly for the same reasons of a free for all match you will either get several "strong" teams ganging up against the "weaker" teams, or several "weaker" teams ganging up against a "strong". Neither of which goes along with the ideals of FIRST. At least the way the system has been set up for the past several years all teams are on a level playing field when it come to alliances, during the Qualifying Matches anyway.

Just my opinion.
