How are alliances formed in FRC Crescendo competitions?

In FRC Crescendo competitions, alliances are formed based on selection processes through ranked team placement. After the qualification rounds, teams are typically ranked based on their performance, which includes factors like match wins, scoring, and overall effectiveness in various aspects of the game. The higher-ranked teams have the privilege of selecting their partners for the elimination rounds, creating strategic alliances that best complement their strengths and weaknesses.

This system allows teams to evaluate their competitors and make informed decisions about whom to ally with, fostering strategic collaboration tailored to maximize their chances of success in the elimination matches. The selection process emphasizes a competitive yet cooperative spirit, ensuring that alliances are formed with careful consideration of performance metrics rather than chance or arbitrary selection.
