Is alliance selection usually this bad?

Yes. The 7th alliance captain, when it was their turn to pick, said that he declined the offer to be the 7th alliance captain. The emcee and the refs talked about it for a little while, but then he changed his mind so there was not a hassle.

I think if you decline to be an alliance captain, you cannot be picked later. It a grey area, but I'm assuming they chose to play rather than sacrifice their spot.

This could absolutely be the case. But I thought that was just for when you are selected to join an alliance. It could very well be for both cases though.
