Being able to decline is very important to the FIRST game. This rule forces the top 8 seeds to market themselve to the teams they want to be with. In the Great Lakes Regional we sold ourselve to team #135. Because of our skills to market ourself, they turned down an offer from the #2 seed team. This makes sure you not only have a good robot, but you must also be able to market yourself to the other teams. The spirt of FIRST is not hurt because a team declines. Another thing is that a team will never throw a round to be a lower seed, there is to much pride in a robot to ever have that happen.
