Re: Pit Politics

I don't know if I totally agree with the proximity of your pit to others helps with a selection. I haven't ever dealt with it, however, I guess it is possible. Building friendships with others helps. Not only do you have that to work off of at a given competition, but if the proper people build the relations it may benefit your team in the future. In addition to that team, I have found relations with certain teams, will help you create relations with other teams at the same time.

I don't totally agree with the politics though. Yes, you may be good year after year, or you may be on the other end and get a lucky break, and be good for one year and be noticed. However, I wish that it could be a level playing field for all to be noticed equally. But the real world doesn't always allow that.
