given that everyone try their best...

Given that every team is going to try their best at qualifying rounds, it seems to me that we might not have the "BEST" alliance during finals... It's true that not all top teams could be perfect partner for each other, but being two of the top 8 and perfect for each other do make it more likely to be the "BEST" alliance in a competition.

Seems like becoming champion this year isn't as easy as the past years... There are a lot of factors.

You have to see whether you are on the top 8 or not. If so, then there are 7 other teams you can't choose... So you will have to rely on pairing up with the best partner outside top 8, AND THEN pick a third partner that could work well with you or your partner, in case your two doesn't work well together.

Mean while, it's going to be even weirder at the Championship event where the teams are divided into 4 division... There are already 3/4 of the robots you can't choose if you are on top 8. And FIRST is likely to follow last year's rule and split the regional champions and finalists into different division. So, not only are you limited to teams in your division who aren't on top 8, they would also be teams you probably haven't played a regional with.

It's going to be an interesting year indeed. Better work harder in scouting! A lot of teams aren't going to get much sleep for the next month or two.
