I know for a fact that we have picked teams several times that were almost at the bottom of the pack due to their performance on the field. They had an awesome bot but just got unlucky pairings. Yes reputation has some part but make sure your performance on the field is what gives you that reputation!

Well our scout team did an amazing job so I know for a fact that we picked our alliances based on thier performance. Only thing is I belive our team has performed very well, especially for a sophmore team, it just seams like reputation is a bit slow to follow.
