<T16>

Each Team may only be invited once to join one Alliance. If a Team representative declines an Alliance Captain’s invitation during Alliance Selection, that Team is no longer eligible to be selected by another Alliance Captain. However, they are still eligible to play Elimination Matches as an Alliance Captain. This video includes a full explanation of the Alliance Selection process. For example:
• Alliance Captain 1 invites Team ABC to join their Alliance.
• Team ABC declines the invitation.
• No other Alliance Captains may invite Team ABC to join their Alliance.
• However, Team ABC may still form their own Alliance if Team ABC is ranked high enough after Qualification Matches to become an Alliance Captain.
• Alliances must have two Teams, and there are no “do-overs” during Alliance Selection. If enough Teams decline their invitations such that the full number of Alliances cannot be filled, the event will proceed with a reduced number of Alliances.
• If a Team must be removed after Alliance Selection due to the outcome of a CoC-related Violation (see clause e of <T10>), the Event Partner can use the full-event Disqualification feature in TM to remove that Team from their Alliance. Their spot in that Alliance will be filled manually by the Event Partner by the next-highest-ranked Team that is not already in an Alliance. If that Team is unavailable or unwilling to participate, the Event Partner can manually select the next-highest-ranked and available Team. If no replacement Team is available, the remaining half of that Alliance will play alone.
