We came back from 1-2-1 to win the competitoin and the other team got 3rd or 4th from last so theres a bit of a difference. But does this happen often with other teams?
I think if any team member gives up on the team, especially during a regional, than they should not be allowed to be a part of the team. If you start out 0-3, there's all the more reason to try to turn it around. It's much more satifying to take a bad situation and come out on top. There are plenty of teams willing to help you out.
