: I was just wondering if any teams out there have thought that they might be better off if they were not in the top 8?

Well, at Long Island, we were assured to be an alliance pick of Sachem (263), as they were in second place with 3 matches remaining. We were ranked ~10th, and we knew if we had a good match, we'd easily move into the top 8, and might not get paired up with Sachem.

But, we decided that it certainly isn't in the spirit of gracious professionalism to throw a match for our own benefit. It's an honor just to be in a elimination alliance, no matter with what team you're playing.

It was a good idea, too, because the second to last round put up the highest score we'd seen yet, and wreaked havoc with all of the standings.
