But how does coopertition have anything to do with alliance selections? Coopertition is about helping other teams compete in the sense that if team xxxx has a robot that is down, powerhouse team yy helps xxxx repair that robot so they can get on the field for the next match. If you wanted coopertition to happen in alliance selections, then you'd have to forbid teams declining eachother too!
