It appears there were many small problems during your day that made you upset. The tipping thing sounds ungracious from your POV but I won't judge without actually seeing it.
As for finals, I've watches dozens of selections and been part of a few as well. The problem with selection is most teams have a list of only a few teams. This list is almost entirely used up by the end of the first round of selection. Then its more of a "price is right" shouting match. Often the second round teams end up getting called because someone on the team reps shouted them the number or he just heard the crowd yelling a number. The second round is normally chaos especially for the lower alliances. Getting chosen is not necessarily a mark of not being good its because you were forgetten.
Teams have to stand out in competition through team spirit or a crazy/amazing bot. An average bot with average scores can easily be forgotten by selection time. Sorry about your experience and good luck in finals.
