well amanda, this is the first im hearing of the results of the st.louis regional. first off, good job. i knew you could make a team happen. congratulations to all of the prankmonkeys for just getting everything together to make a team, let alone compete.
i am glad to hear that all of the other teams, rookie or not, were willing to help you. 906, 476, 447, 1018, 45, and 1028, thank you for exhibiting what f.i.r.s.t is all about.
now, on to the unsportsmanlike conduct during the matches. first off, in the spirit of the game, why would you EVER want to strike a deal with the other teams to inflate your individual score? to me, this defeats the purpose of even competing. this isnt what f.i.r.s.t is all about and everybody knows it. when teams get to the point where they are trying to make deals with other teams to inflate each teams individual score, then f.i.r.s.t competition has hit a low point.
as for the team or teams that were 'booing' you guys, forget them. personally, i believe that they should be exposed and used as an example for everybody else. they should be sacrificed on the alter of gracious professionalism, if you will. some might not feel the way that i do, maybe thats because i know members that are part of the prankmonkeys, but in any case i believe that the team or teams involved should apologize for their behavior. i would feel the same way i do now no matter what team was involved. i have never heard a team truly get 'booed' at, so these actions by other teams suprises me.
on a lighter note, congratulations to the prankmonkeysfor their showing at the st.louis regional!!
