Same thing here. We had been seated 32ish, but we had won in 2004 AND had a WORKING AUTONOMOUS MODE (we found the vision tetra and attempted to pick it up). A few teams ranked below us were picked, but we weren't. For the most part, Alliance Captains were just picking the next-highest ranked team, not necessarily one that complemented their strategy.
