  3. Is it general practice to honor such a request if it is made?
Let me start by saying that making any request of another team is perfectly fair. I have seen number 2 happen before. In 2007 in Boston my team seeded #2. I forget whether it was 126 or 69 that seeded, but one of them was either 4th or 5th, but they both approached us and told us not to pick either one of them because they wanted to play together. So we honored the request and didn't pick either one. This is the only time I've ever been asked by one team not to select another. They beat our alliace in the semis, so it worked out for them.

Personally I think this is fine. Teams don't have to honor other teams requests, and teams reserve the right to decline, so making requests of other teams is fine because if they are seeded higher they can choose to ignore requests, but it deosn't happen very often.
