Re: What would happen if the #1 alliance captain gets denied by every team

So Scorched Earth proposal/possibility exists, and its history is documented.
I had a concept that might be in a similar vein, and know of no rules to cover it.
I’m calling it Universe Upside-down. In this alliance picking strategy a super alliance can be made and in the balance of the competition field is destroyed (ok that’s a bit strong, but...).
I’ll explain the scenario using team ranking as names/numbers. After elims, teams 1-8 are captains. Team 1 picks team 2 who says yes. Now teams 3-9 are the other 7 captains. For simplicity of explanation the balance of picks are sequential by rank. So team 3(2 seed captain) picks team 10, 4 takes 11 and so on. Up and down selections take place per norm meaning 2 seed takes team23 (alliance is then 3, 10, 23) Then the 1 seed invites team 3. (Pause for effect) Realize Team 3 is the 2 seed captain and they have not said no (refused an invite) to a selection so by rule are eligible to be picked. (Think not please find/state the RULE) Think of the fallout. Team 3 says yes, SEED 1 alliance now teams 1, 2, 3 but that is the simple issue. Seed 2 has to have a captain move into the position vacated by team 3, per rule this is team 4 with team 10 becoming the seed 8 captain except 10 was part of the 2 seed alliance which just gained a new captain (as did most alliances). Chaos the depth of this is crazy, question, is it preventable? Would never happen you might say, because never, would the top 3 seeded teams wish to play together.
