In '99, seeded teams could not choose each other, and in 2000 they could. There was a large uproar on CD about the rule change and how there would be too many "super alliances", with the #1 and #2 seed. This never materialized.
Rule T7 is the one that covers this issue this year. I read it as saying that a top seeded team could choose another top 8.
