: I have a real problem with a system that forces a high seeded team to forfeiture it's right to select a partner! I am also against rejections and all the possible problems associated with it. Thats why I stated that I don't believe that FIRST thought this one all the way through. It appears that they tried to fix a part of the selection process that wasn't really broke.
Under what circumstances does a high seeded team lose forfeit their 'right' to select a partner? Even if rejections are allowed, they can select any partner they desire; however, the potential partner also has a 'right' to reject the association. If they are rejected they then choose another partner.
The 'rejection' scenerio is much closer to the way alliances and mergers work in the business world. Can you provide examples of real life situations which mirror the 'no reject' scenerio?
