i still disagree.. yes, i'm speaking personally here, i would rather not get picked at all then get picked just cause i'm a "buddy" or cause the other team has to pick someone. and, i would not want to walk up on stage and receive a medal around my neck that i did not participate in earning. it just seems to me that a team that breaks down and needs to be replaced is going to be RECOGNIZED and remembered for that, and the team that gets chosen but does not PARTICIPATE will not be remembered or recognized at all. part of this competition is the luck of the draw, the choice of one alliance partner and having to make it through with them through the thick and thin, because you are one team and have no other option.

in the end, regardless of how many teams per alliance, there will be one national winner, one runner-up, one fifth place, one last place, etc. completely independent of how many teams are chosen.. but, if you're going to have 3 alliances, why not have 4, 5, 12.. enough so everyone makes it to the elimination matches?? why not.. because that is not the point of it, that is not the point of qualifying and being eliminated, why change it now?

that's my opinion on the deal, not to say that i would reject the idea of being a third alliance, or choosing 2 others if in the position to do so, but the concept of being chosen and not being needed by the alliance doesn't sit well with me..yes, i'd rather be sitting in the stands watching and enjoying that sitting on the bench in the game only because they don't cut... and i wouldn't want to be the one to pick 2 alliances and only have a use for one of them... but, that's just what i think..
