Re: 2010 Los Angeles Regional
One thing I noticed after alliance selection was that both 330 and 294 (alliance captains) had won previous regionals and thus were playing for their other alliance members to go to Atlanta (notably their first picks, 1717 and 968 respectively). Playing to win a second regional is a good motivator, but playing to help other great teams to get in is even more of one!

1717 ended up double-qualified for Atlanta as they won EI, but of course they didn't know that during the finals! It's a pity that 968 didn't qualify; they had many issues during the first day of qualifications but really got it together from late Friday onward (I believe they were the 8th seed when picked by 294).
