Imaginary scenario: first 4 teams at an event really are the best 4 teams, in that order. 1 picks 2. 3 asks 4. Does 4 accept? Do they have a better chance at beating out 3 with their own alliance than taking down 1 & 2 with 3?
Someone mentioned intentionally considering this in the "(Seemingly) Irrational alliance selection decisions" thread, but now it will be happening with every pick at every regional. I can't wait to see how this plays out.

This is and the other scenario where teams try to not be on alliance 4,5, or 8(alliances that have to face alliance 1 to get to the finals) are why I would like to see wildcards distributed based on the district ranking system.
Putting 2 and 2 together, and then mixing them back up for someone else to try and get 4 in a different way is just plain fun. - Elgin Clock [more]
