The top 8 seeded teams become alliance captains. They are the ones who choose who will be their partners. It goes like this. #1 seed has 1st choice. He can pick any team he chooses, It goes down the list to #8. Then the 2nd choosing starts with #8 getting 1st choice, all the way back to #1. The alliance captains can choose any team they want, but only only captains can decline & have the right to choose another team.

Any of the alliance captains can choose a alliance captain after them, They can accept or decline. If a alliance captain is chosen & he accepts, he now becomes an alliance partner & is no longer a captain. Whoever is next in line after the top 8 will become an alliance captain. But if you are not in the top 8 and you are asked to join an alliance you can either accept or decline. If you decline, you can not be chosen by any other team & will not be in the finals matches.
