You definitely were overlooked and it's very frustrating for the team. I've seen this happen at almost every event. Mistakes happen and it can be disheartening for the students. If you are not doing so already, consider having one of your scouts devoted to self scouting and a small group of your best communicators using that data to market your team to the top teams in your division. Networking is good for both getting visibility at the competition as well as fostering long term relationships with other teams.
