I don't see any advantage to dropping a last match so you fall out of the top 8. (at GLR, if 2137 won thier last match, they would have been the 2nd seed, but they lost, fell out of the top 8 and did not get selected)
Its funny you say this, because in Hawaii this past weekend, team 597 was out of the top 8 and wanted to be selected in the second round by a higher seeded alliance. When they moved up to 8th, they have no choice already and have to select their own alliance.
