Last year was not typical

On the team that I was on last year (608), we, the Georgia Tech students, acted as coaches/engineers. We found that when up on stage, we were often treated as high school students. The adults often try to take control of the situation and be very forceful. They often did not listen to ideas from us or high school students.

It is unfortunate that you were treated badly because you looked like kids. It certainly shouldn't have been that way. You need to remember, though, that last year's competition tended to bring out the worst in everyone. When you have 20 people, each having their own ideas, trying to work out a plan in about 3 minutes is not a recipe for civil discourse. With the 2 on 2 game, things go a whole lot more smoothly. I suspect that things will go better for you, whether two coaches or one.
