I agree with Elaine, I doesn't seem that people are really unhappy about the alliance system, just a little unhappy that they did not get to play in the elimination tournament. I know that we would have been. There are a couple of ways to get everyone into the eliminations and still keep alliances (which I like, a lot). Here's one, what does everyone think:

Seeding takes place all day Friday, and maybe one round on Thursday, like last year. At the end of the day Friday there is a draft and the top 16 each get two picks to form alliances. The remaining teams are then thrown into random alliances (based on seeding or something). Saturday is a double elimination tournament with all of the alliances (there would have been 90 this year) to determine the champs. If the number of teams is not divisible by 3, the extra teams are offered to the top seeded alliances so that they will have even more options.

It's not a perfect system, but it might create more of an atmosphere where teams are likely to stick around 'til the end.

P.J.
