Once we get to the final rounds, all positions are decided before the game, there are no negotiations. When I did the assigning, I tried to rotate plate jobs between everyone who was selected for the playoffs.
When you say no negotiations, does that mean no changes? What if the changes need to be made? For example: I worked a large tournament this summer where the positions were assigned all the way through prior to the start of the tournament. I worked the plate for one team's first three games and, if they kept winning (which they did), I would have had their next two games, one of which which would have been the final. We changed the rotation for the last two games.
