Not necessarily; just the one the other seven alliances didn't choose for whatever reason. (968 and a radio-problem-plagued 254 didn't seem to do so terrible at the 24-team Cal Games last year when 1516, which by that point was stuck doing defense due to a shooter malfunction, became their third partner by default.)
Just another point of data.
