Re: Intentionally Losing Matches

If you go out there and intentionally lose a match by forfeit, then I know I probably wouldn't pick you. Even if you were 1114.

It's not fair to your partners.
It is a chance of "showing off" to higher-seeded teams that you just missed. I know in my scouting sheet, a zero doesn't help you at all.
It's not a sure thing.

So just get out there and play like there's no tomorrow.
