Re: New Aliance Selection?
I asked Woodie about this at UTC. His thoughts are that it would be unfair to deny the top teams their #1 picks. If a team is the #1 seed, they deserve to form the best alliance they can, same with #2-#8. It would be unfair to the top 8 teams to force them to pick teams outside of the top 8.

It's an interesting debate with strong arguments from both sides.

The reverse-order for second round seems to be leveling the playing field a bit though.
