At the Lone Star Regionals some judges asked me which rookie team I thought stood out the most. This was right after we'd come back from winning a game with 1902 (Exploding Bacon), and they were very friendly and helpful. After working with them, I had no doubt in my mind. But, after I answered the judges said "well, in that case, who would be your next pick?" I didn't really understand why I couldn't pick Exploding Bacon, and later found out they requested to be taken out of the running, since they won the Rookie All-Star award in Florida. I was throughly impressed with their overall team, and that display of GP confirmed the impression they left with me.
