Usually, it is two wins right up front by alliance #1 and alliance #8 is hugely defeated right from the start and it is over for them.

The "top seed plays bottom seed in the first round" is standard procedure for nearly all tournaments, and to me, it makes sense. Usually the #1 alliance beats #8 in FIRST events, but not always. Two examples where that didn't happen are quite memorable to me from last year's Championship. In our division, Currie, #8 beat #1, and #7 beat #2. We were #2, one of the "underachiever" alliances. Oh well.
