Just a couple of things that went on during the alliance selection at the PNW Regional. The first surprising thing that happened was the Cheesy Poofs graciously declining the #2 alliances invitation to join them and instead picked there own alliance partners (which was a good choice, considering they won the regional). The other thing that was pretty cool was the #8 alliance (our alliance) made it all the way to the finals without loosing a match (there was one tie) before loosing 2 games to 1 to the Poofs.

I think the reverse picking order definetly helps even out the teams and gives everyone a shot at the championship.
