While typically, winning matches is the key to seeding high it is not always the case. Reading the manual and understanding HOW to seed high is incredibly important to controlling your own destiny come alliance selection time.

I disagree again:

1. Desireable
2. seed high
3. win matches

at DCMP this year, my team seeded well, 17th (I think), yet we weren't picked because our skillset didn't quite line up with what other alliances wanted. at Champs, we seeded in the 50's, but were picked as the 3rd robot because our skillset was desirable to that alliance (they all liked upright containers, and we could upright them. also canburglar. you can't control your schedule, but if you show well, you could succeed anyway
