Re: Picking Teams in Elimination Rounds

Intentionally loosing a match is NEVER a professional thing to do. If your robot is in bad shape and need repairs, you may SKIP the match, but don't throw it for your two alliance partners.
If you're doing it to help the other alliance it's even worse. You're essentially trying to bulk your stock by giving them a higher pick. And if it's truely about
"friendship", you're making one on their alliance, and losing two on yours...

I have my problems with being a #1 seed at a small regional, but I would never plan to lose a match beforehand.
