Selection process for Alliance Partners in the Finals

Lee: We were the fourth seed at SBPLI. We were picked by the number one seed. We both got knocked out in the quarterfinals. We learned that it's not just your performance in the Q-Rounds that determines whether or not you'll be successful, but how well you compliment each other as teammates. In that case, we probably didn't as well as we could have.

Hehe, I was thinking about you guys when i posted earlier while i was at school. I couldn't remember the team numbers and what not. One thing to point out about the SBLI regional was that before everyone went out to pick teams was that after talking with the #1 seeded team they decided to pick 311 over our team. And #2 seeded team (their name eluding me at the moment) told us we were definetely getting picked if Port Jeff didn't pick us. After Port Jeff (#1 seeded) said they were picking 311, the #2 seeded team came back and confirmed we were definetely their first pick.

Note: This all happened Prior to walking out on the field to announce the alliances.

It's probably wisest to pick who you think fits you the best, and not worry about seeding or what your opponent will do or snuff like that.

So Very True! (props)
