Could alliance picks go this way

I saw a comment on CD that at a 24 or 25 team event this year (I believe it was a NC district, I don't remember what event) that the first seed alliance would go with only two robots if that was the case. Extrapolating (which to some people is a bad word) that logic, there would be 8 single robot robot alliances since every team declined before the second seed was able to make their first pick.
