The alliance captain wanted a team that wasn't on that list of 5, so our representive texted back "what about XXXXX". I believe we were in the process of texting back when it was our alliance's turn to pick. So, long story short, we were working on the pick before it was our turn, but it was just one of those tough situations that take time. If anyone has any suggestions on how we could have been more efficient, I'm interested in hearing them.

You could have simply given the total list to the student representative on the field, with any needed notes and categorizations, rather than keeping your brain trust off-field with all the information. Then your student representative would have known about that team and what to do in that situation without having to spend time texting back and forth.

No, it doesn't.
