: 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.

Whether or not a team WOULD throw a match is in another thread about 20 posts down. In that thread, they are debating whether or not teams would throw matches and that they should eliminate rejecting partnership offers to solve this problem.

The point of my original post was that forcing a team to accept the first bid WOULD NOT solve the problem. I simply brought up an example of a situation that occurred in which forcing a team to accept the first bid would not work had the teams decided to make a deal.

Whether the teams in question WOULD make a deal is irrelevant to the point. The point is that the proposed fix does not actually fix the problem.
