Re: "Strategic" Alliance selection

I think teams have been asked just about every question about who and when they will pick.

There are a few reasons to let a higher seeded team know your intentions (if they ask, i would not just volunteer this).

* It gives them time to make alternate decisions and avoid frustration during selections.

* It lets them decide if they will be embarrased by a "decline" response, and don't want to do it.

* It lets them decide if they want to pick you anyway to break up another partnership.

In all cases, be careful about "promising" anything, by anyone on the team. Especially in a game like 2010, the rankings can change quickly with one really high or realy low scoreing match. Everyones selection strategy can quickly change.
