Picking Teams

This was a thought that i had given that Nationals is going to be so competitive at the top.

Lets say your the number one seed but your not the best bot out there. Your good but not on the same level as say 1114, 233, 330... You go and talk to say 1114 and see if they want to be on an alliance before the selections, this is done all the time at regionals, I imagine its the same at nationals. Team 1114 says no they are looking to team up with a stronger team and wish to form their own alliance. Lets say they are the third Seed. Now we go to the selections and you have the first pick, is it un-GP to ask 1114 to join your alliance knowing they are going to say no, just so the second seed, say 330 who 1114 would pair themselves with, from picking them? Also what about doing this for all eight Alliance Captains?

Of corse you wouldn't want to pick any team that you didn't want to be on an alliance with but if this tactic is use properly then it could stop deadly alliance that you could beat from forming and thus give you a better chance.

Were not going to national but just a thought.
