I feel like I speak for all three teams when I say, we played the game having fun.

I've seen and heard of teams doing this and it rubs me the wrong way. I would be pretty upset to work 6 weeks and give it my all during the competition only to be passed up by a team because they wanted to pick their friends. I just don't think it is fair to the other teams if you choose not to play competitively and to the best of your ability. If this was a Michigan event where you gets points for getting selected, I would be extremely upset. But, at the end of the day, its the teams right to play however they want.
