: I cannot think of any reason you would not want to be in the top 8 or why you would not want to be number 1. i would want to build my alliance based on what i know of my own skill and other teams' skill rather than hoping that someone else picks a good team and picks me to be on it too.
: the only thing i can see is trying to specifically seed yourself within the top 8 so that you are automaticaly paired with another team you like. this is basically impossible unless you are the last match of the day though. even then it is hard.
: please explain why you would not want to be seeded cause i can't think of anything. even if you make a deal with another team for them to pick you, do you want to risk not getting picked after all? also, what if another alliance picks you first? do you want to risk all this, or just go out and do your best? i would want to do my best and know that i can make an alliance that will beat all the others.


If you are chosen into an alliance, it is more likely that the you will benefit to & from that alliance. The automatic pairing could hurt your alliance, (imagine 71 & 111 automatically paired together), their robots do not compliment each other. In that case, you might be better to not want to seed, and count on your chances of getting picked, and having a better shot at the finals.
