As a volunteer at the Canadian regional I would like to add a few things. You are asking for a representative of FIRST to say they are sorry for what happened. You say that you spoke to the pit announcer who said he would talk to someone from FIRST. I know first hand how much work goes on behind the scenes and how many task one person gets involved with. More than once I promised something and a couple of hours later remembered what I had done. I did follow up and say I was sorry but I also question myself on what else did I forget. I arrived every day by 6:45 and was one of the last to leave every night. When I arrived the FIRST people where already in full swing and always were working when I left. I have worked with these people at 2 Canadian Regions and1 in Pittsburg. Believe me when I say that they try their very best to make everything work out without any errors. We are all human however and we do make mistakes. I wonder if the pit announcer forgot or in their few minutes of break( if they were lucky enough to get one ) did not get a chance to see someone. I am sorry that you were not picked but sometimes those things happen. At the Canadian Regional the 10th seeded team was not chosen and I am sure they felt that they should have been. Remember that the choosers where students. I saw a 2nd round choice of a team that was ranked 4th and was already a chooser. All I can say now is good luck for the rest of this year and I hope that next year brings you closer to winning.
