Who made the plans? I've found that if only the coaches talk to each other it doesn't mean much. If the lead drivers and coaches meet then the decisions made carry more weight. 
We've been ditched before too, but it never resulted in the other team winning. We always had time to recover. This has a way of making a lasting impression on a team. Sometimes for years. (Our scouts have a long memory when it comes time for alliance selections.) A reputation is a valuable thing.
A plea to all teams. Don't make an agreement you can't or won't keep. You represent more than just yourself in this endeavor, and the consequences can reach beyond the game.
