It's always easy to think up a real life situation for any argument. The fact of the matter is:

-- This isn't back yard football! --

This is the game FIRST said it would be; and I personally don't see why the 'best' team shouldn't be allowed to pick the second best. Super-alliances assure that the trophy goes to the right teams. We're all yelling about what's fair and what's not but we never stop to think that the 17th team drafted is ending up with a good chance at the #1 prize because it's with the first draft and the #1 seed. Why shouldn't it be that the best two robots get the gold?

I just don't see how this is a problem.
