No the problem was, we were 2nd, then we lost our last match which put us down to 12th, so only one team would have had us on their list. We were on teams in the top 8's list to accept if choosen by us, but they didnt realize untill after. I think the problem was, the showing of the rankings. They should announce the top eight, then have a break, so teams can then choose who they wanted. Picking would then not be based on assumption from seeing a team high all day and would force people to do more efficient scouting!
