This is true regardless of game. Selecting alliance partners based on rank is generally a very bad idea and should only be done if you have no scouting data, can't find anyone that will let you have a copy of their scouting and alliance selections are in 1 minute.

It is to my belief that this is the best strategy, and I think it is this strategy that contributed to the victory of the underdog alliance of 3357, 1243, and 1254 over the first ranked alliance of 1718, 1918, and 1896 at the WM District Competition.

And it is my belief and that of a number of others I have talked to that this is generally (there are certainly exceptions) a bad strategy and is the reason a few alliances lost matches they definitely could have or in some cases should have won. This weekend should sort help out which strategy is really the better one.
