I am not saying it is not GP, as I believe saying, "no thanks" is a perfectly legitimate part of the game. However, putting someone on the blacklist for saying, "no thanks" is also a perfectly legitimate part of the game. The reason you would say no thanks is mainly due to strategic seeding to give you the best chance to make / win in the elimination rounds. Just know this: if you say, "no thanks" to us, then you won't be in the elimination rounds as our partner

You seem to share our sentiment entirely.
Although, I do think that teams deciding to go for the bridge just for the sake of making sure high power teams don't cold shoulder them during picking is far from what the GDC envisioned the goal of the coopetition bridge being.
