This is a word to the wise, not a harangue:
There are many things that will help a team either become an Alliance Captain or get picked by one.
I can guarantee that, in all but the most extremely odd situations, playing Madden in your pit isn't one of them. In most situations that is a good way to interfere with getting picked by teams that eventually become the Alliance Captains. Teams' scouts are likely to take a dim view of Madden in the pits.
You have the rest of your life to play video games. Time at an FRC tournament is precious. Use it wisely.
