Interesting. On the other hand, it could be a very selfish tactic (not saying in your case, saying that could be used as very selfish) because if you, with the strongest team get drawn the weakest, is gonna be very easy to you, ok, +6 points, but a weaker team in your assoc is going to draw an stronger one, it could be a -6 there then.

In any case, is a very interesting catch. As you said, maybe can be used if works at the assoc level too and get a weaker assoc altogether. Then yeah, that is very helpful!
