Tier 1:
1114, 217 (I absolutely love the chickens this year! Slams are much cooler than Boops)
Tier 2:
330, 968, 987, 233, 71 (with rollers), 1124, 16
Tier 3:
175, 254, 2056, 111, 118, 980, 121, 1024, 1625, 33
Forgive me if I am forgetting anyone. These are just the teams that stick out in my mind. Also forgive me for the northeast bias. These teams pop into my head much faster.

Is this for the top hurdlers?
Or is it for the 1/2/3 in being alliance picked?
Because, i think that the top team would pick a hurdler, and then a D bot on the way back.
Any team that picks 3 hurdlers that are good hurdlers. (E.g. 1114,217,330) Would be at a disadvantage, because it would be 3 people fighting for balls. 2 hurdler, 1 Def bot would be the ideal one for this game.
And on the thought about 8th seed getting the better picks, i dont believe this to be true this year. the 8th seed will likely have an inferior hurdle mechanism compared to #1 seed. And they will pick another not as good hurdler because the top teams will pick them first. And the 3rd round pick will be a bot that will play defense, which most bots can do.
Last year, the 8th seed had a real advantage, because they would pick a person who can put rings on AND then get the best Ramp that they could climb.
This game it will be a strange alliance picking at nationals for sure.
