In the referee's conference last week, this question was addressed. The answer was that seeded teams can pick each other. In other words Number 1 seed can pick Number 2 seed etc. Number 2 can refuse because thay still can pick. If Number 2 says yes, than the Number 9 seed becomes the eight seed etc. Here is another scenario. If Number 1 picks Number 9 and Number 9 refuses thinking that they may get a chance to be a picker and no one else picks a seed team Number 9 would be out, but if they get lucky and another seeded team picks another seeded team than Number 9 becomes number 8 and they will be allowed to pick.
Ok. I talked with the next best thing to FIRST- the head scoring db author (who btw actually did talk with Eric on this). This above quote is now false. #1 may not pick #2, etc...

Here's a quote from the email I got based on the most recent scorekeepers training: "The statement was made that the teams can select among remaining
unpartnered teams. The ruling will come out that the top 8 seeded teams
are the ones doing the selection, and they will be considered
"partnered" or whatever wording is used. It just would not be fair to
let them select among themselves.
"

Hope this settles the issue. And hopefully FIRST doesn't change their mind between now and .... later.

Best regards,
KA-108
