Throwing matches

Even if rejecting an alliance partnership offer was disallowed, throwing matches could still be a problem. The situation could have occurred at the Great Lakes regional. Going into this regional, it was generally thought that the two best teams would be Beatty and the Bomb Squad (at least that's the feeling I got from reading these forums). Just before the last matches, Bomb Squad was #1 seed and Beatty was #8. Beatty could have easily thrown their match and been picked by the Bomb Squad. That alliance might have been unbeatable. In this situation, not allowing rejections would not help.
Disallowing rejections might help somewhat, but it won't completely solve the problem.
