In San Diego, 1266 had the option of breaking up powerhouse alliances by just picking through their list, which was what they chose to do. It's their call on who they want to pick. It's the invited team's call if they want to accept or decline the invitation.

Any team that seeds high enough to become an alliance captain earns the right to do as they please. In this case, they did what they felt was necessary to ensure that their alliance would move as far as they can through the tournament bracket.

It's not a "stuck up" move.

Sometimes, "you gotta do what you gotta do."
