Yes, they could have, but would they have? For the most part, I think that even though all of these terrible things COULD have been done, we all understand "gracious professionalism" enough so that they won't. After all, how different is this situation from the past, where teams could sandbag through the seeding rounds, get ranked low, and then go through and easily all of their rounds to make it far in the competition? I don't know of anyone personally who did that last year, or any other time in the past...

: Beatty could have easily thrown their match and been picked by the Bomb Squad. That alliance might have been unbeatable. In this situation, not allowing rejections would not help.
