Life isn't fair. I'm old now, and can say that with plenty of experience. I am a firm believer in fairness and justice and I wish it were so, but it isn't.
The right person isn't always selected to be the driver, or to be the captain of the team, or for that matter, to receive the promotion at work. If you have a problem with the way your team is organized and its decision-making process, call a team meeting and discuss it (calmly and maturely). Offer suggestions for how you think it can improve. Don't let it fester as you enter competition season.
And because you are a newbie, just a reminder that we encourage our members to register with identifying information - if you want to discuss a situation anonymously in these forums, there is a sub-forum for that: FAHA.
