First off, I agree with you about no rejections in general. I was always a fan of rejections because I felt any team has a right to a choice.

BUT...

If any team doesn't have this right, why should anyone be different? You said that you think 'teams which have earned by their own performance the privilege to select their own alliance' should be given that opportunity, but I don't see where they 'earned' that privilage. Nobody told seed #3 that they get to pick their alliance partiner.

I don't see why, if rejection is 'not within the spirit of the competition', that any team should be exempt from gracious professionalism. Think about WHY these rules were enstated, not as much what they state.
