Round 3: The same method is used for each ALLIANCE CAPTAIN’S third choice except the selection order is reversed again, with ALLIANCE 1 picking first and ALLIANCE 8 picking last. This process results in 8 ALLIANCES of 4 teams each.

ALLIANCES may start with any 3 of the 4 ROBOTS on their ALLIANCE during division Playoff MATCHES and during the Championship Playoffs. ALLIANCES submit LINEUPS for their MATCHES as described in section 10.6.4 LINEUPS.
