Re: Does CD affect alliance selections?

I prefer to refer to this as marketting, because I'm weak at psychology.

CD allows teams to showcase their robot and their teams. When regionals or divisions come around, the teams well known on CD will probably be the first to get scouted. During alliance selections, the representative, if given a scouting sheet with no statistics, is more likely to go with a team he or she knows.

Therefore yes, I do think it affects alliance selections, great point.
