We attended two regional competitions this year. Our first time out I was surprised by the number of deal offers that were available. We resisted all and made our first selection. This weekend in Michigan we were in a good position on Friday and found that a number of potential teams would not be available if we picked them because of deals that were already being arranged. So we jumped in the game of trying to sew up partners ahead of time. I liked the first way much better. While I am quite sure that no matches were thrown, there should not be any situation that losing could be beneficial to a team. There should also not be any situations that it would be beneficial to reject a draft pick. Brian is quite right that except for the integrity of the people involved this could get out of hand. I agree that there should be no rejections allowed. But even if this is not an official rule, having been there, it is the rule that the Bomb Squad is going to follow.
