Well really rejecting a team is not the biggest deal, it is just part of the game, an acceptable risk which you must make when you go on the stage. I can say from the point of a rejectee, i think that's the right word, that it wasn't earth shattering. You may feel bad for declining because of a broken robot, or a previuos agreement but that's what took the place of the powerful human player which was shown last year. There is always the unexpected twist, even though this one isn't as unexpected. Still I was on stage with the sheet of four teams because we had expected either, a)the teams would get picked or b)I might get declined by a choice. The most unnerving spot though is trying to answer the question to your alliance partner of why they were second pick, but thats minor. Really you shouldn't have any guilt holdingover you because it was a reasonable reason, and even if it was prior, hey it happens.
