The only problem was every team already had made the decision on who they would choose, still thinking we were in the top eight. This was very frustrating for our team after doing very well in NJ finishing 3rd, and being in the 1, 2 or 3 seeded spot, and not getting picked. Has what happened to us ever happened to any other teams? What do you think about what happend?
Please do NOT make excuses for why you did not get picked. The regional is over and what happened did happen and you cant change it now. Our team droped from rank 3 to 12 due to loosing our 2nd to last match. We still worked as hard as we could to get to rank 9 and during selections move to the 8th seed spot. This should be a learning experience as to what to do now, and complaining on here will give a bad rep for your team. Also not many teams have selected who they would pick over an hour from selections. I know that many teams thoughts change during the last few matches.

PS~ Be happy for the AWARD that your team WON!
