Re: Picking alliances
My best advice is to ignore the rankings and to make your own independent ranking system. We ranked teams this year based on average number of tubes scored per match and quality of ramps. Friday night me and another mentor were up to midnight at the Holiday Inn (BMR) making decisions on alliance selection...even though we were about 17 and didnt expect to be picking. However, we moved up on Saturday and then moved up to 7th seed during alliance selection. We ended up turning down the number 5 seed in order to select our own alliance. It actually payed off because we made it to the finals.
Should you sell your team? I think so. Selling your team can be the key to being selected, even though you may be a lesser known team.
