Big Problem

This was a big problem in the AZ Regional. We were approached several times to do it-- The #1 seed team, I won't say who but you can look it up, was more than 50 points ahead of my team, who was seeded SECOND! The majority of the teams there were disgusted with the obvious "gentleman's aggreements" made throughout the competition. We even started a petition going to try and come to a regional consensus that this is against the meaning and intentions of FIRST-- Suprisingly enough, the #1 seed refused to sign it. I think FIRST needs to crack down on this although there is no way to regulate it. :-( Any ideas? It's disappointing to see that there are teams and MENTORS who don't feel that fixing matching is immoral-- I thought FIRST was about GRACIOUS PROFESSIONALISM-- am I mistaken?
