Should the Number One seed be Alloud to pick the Number Two seed?

Also note the 2013 peachtree regional had some good 1st and second picks for lower seeded alliances that went on to beat the higher seeds.

NE Champs #1 (1519) chose #2 (195). In my book, 195 WAS the better team. They were more consistent in the matches, but luck of the algorithm teamed them with teams that didn't pull their own. I stand by what I saw & think 195 could possibly go all the way. You do need 1 team that pulls from behind the drivers' station & 1 from the landfill. The 3rd can either top them off or be the one that is a great can-burgler.
