On the other hand, my team finished in the top 20 at both events we entered this year, and still didn't get picked. There's nothing wrong with selling yourself to other teams, particularly teams that you played well with during qualifying. Scouts do sometimes miss good teams, and it never hurts to give them a little reminder. In any case, don't beat yourself up over it. Only 24 teams get to play in elims. Sometimes you're in the 24, and sometimes you aren't.

Yep, team 2230 in Israel got a bad ranking due to loads of problems with our ranking alliances and we always lost with them(and they won with the other alliances, so they ranked up while we kept going down untill we reached the last ranking), but in the end we got picked by the #6 alliance and we reached the semi-finals which for our first year rocks!
