Re: IRI - 4th Alliance Team?
I think the IRI Planning Committee found the perfect compromise that allowed more teams to stay involved longer, while not forcing un-necessary structure. I suppose I can see how teams that are used to "playing after lunch" might be frustrated to be picked and then not play. But that has to be better than not being picked at all (like our team), also much better than the FIRST method of having the next xx teams on standby and your alliance has to take whoever is "up next". The IRI method allowed more strategy to be included in the mix.
