.. i'm glad you think that my old team and Team Hammond would have made a champion alliance.. it would have been a pleasure :-)

now i have a question on the point you just made (may have missed this in the rule).. but as you said, as #2 seed, you could graciously decline the #1 seed's offer - however, would that decline take you out of the finals all together? by way of rule GM26 'Teams may decline an offer when asked to ally for the elimination matches, however if a team declines they are no longer eligible to be chosen...' I know it says that they can't be chosen- but in the idea in which FIRST developed that rule, it is feeling that declining an offer basically declines you the chance to compete in finals..

what do you think FIRST is looking for? and what do you guys think they'd do in that case?
