If you worked hard for two days to be the number one seed, would you want someone to tell you that you can't pick one of the seven best teams at the event?
Say you're second seed, and the first seed came to you and told you that they wanted to be allied with your team in the eliminations. Would you lose matches on purpose to drop in ranking so they can pick you? Is that fair to the teams you're allied with in the matches you lose on purpose?

You can see where this snowballs and makes for a bad event.
