Re: Rejections are not in the spirit of the game

Posted on 4/4/99 9:29 PM MST In Reply to: Rejections are not in the spirit of the game posted by Frank on 4/4/99 9:04 PM MST: While I do agree with people that marketing is a big part of the game this year, I also agree with Frank and Wildstang. The marketing that should go on at this competition should be the lower seeds marketing themselves to the higher seeds. The higher seeds shouldn't have to market to the lower seeds and prove that they should be their partner. The higher seeds have already proven themselves. Few real world examples: any professional sports draft...the person drafted can't say, 'You know, I already told Team XYZ that they could draft me, so you should draft someone else,' but the player has every right to not sign a contract with the team who drafts him...the penalty he pays...he can't play for a year...he has to sit out the year and go back through the draft again. A little less serious example that us non-athletic robotics type people (hey don't get mad, i'm one too) can relate to is 'choosing sides' on the playground, you don't tell one captain that you already told the other captain he could pick you... it just isn't done that way. Well anyway, another 2 cents from Tom Team 275 |
