We declined, and played the match the best we could. I cannot remember if we won or lost the match. Our team even agreed that if they were to select us in the draft, that we would decline, even if that meant we would not play.
Our view of that team was completely chenged based on their "offer", even if it only reflected the view of a few on the drive team.
Your reputation as a team will live on, long after the memory of a match won or lost.

Well said Chris. We have to live with our choices. Your team chose from
the good side and gave the good fight. Win or lose you are heroes in my
book now and forever. Dean was worried about the intensity of competition
and apparently saw less then GP behavior and talked about it at the NY
Regional. Lets all remember its just a game and inside we are all the
precious Geeks that make this country run and we have the best FUN!
