Think about this: If you are picking your own crossings, why does the DC give you your opponents' selections? (5.5.10.2)
From the rest of the Manual, it is pretty clear to me that you pick your own Defenses.

As far as I can tell, in PRACTICE MATCHES you choose for the opponent for the sake of practicing crossing them.
In QUALIFICATION MATCHES, Alliances pick their OWN defenses and then the DC exchanges the plans (with the audience selected section still unknown) so that you know what to expect and have one match's time to strategize how to capture your Castle in queuing!
Interestingly, teams should pay attention to Practice Matches to track what defenses teams prefer to cross... That will be a big scouting question that will later mess teams up because you've probably told the opponent which defenses you can't cross.
Nats allows an exchange of a vast multitude of ideas from everywhere. Not only in robot design, but accents, tool storage, pit design, team spirt, clothing, many things.
