It doesn't work that way

I don't mean to sound all high and mighty here, but the competition doesn't work like that. If you get picked by someone, you work with them whether you like them or not. One theory the competition has always been based on (even before the days of gracious proffesionalism) is 'punting.' If you get picked by someone else, you might be a little unhappy about it, but you aren't going to throw matches in the finals. That would be shooting yourself in the foot. And this isn't the kind of situation where you lose the ability to think rationally. You're talking about rational people (or so engineers and prosective engineers are generally thought to be) in a fairly reasonable situation. Noone is going to be emotionally traumatized by being picked by a different team, so I don't see too many 'crimes of passion' being committed this year.
