Bad behavior in the hotels.

When we were in the hotel and were going for our important scouting meeting in one of our rooms, that kid didnt come, instead, he played with the other teams and played halo 2. So, naturally, any kind of interference caused by another team is really not welcome among my team. As a matter of fact, if they find out that I'm actually posting on Chief Delphi, they will probably compare me to the one that i will only call "Andrew".
But anyway, it shoudnt happen again, and its probably because of the glass, and the noise the freshman portion of our team was making. (Yeah Im a freshman, but I bunk with the older kids.)

I'm not sure how to reply to this, but I think you're being a tad off topic, and if there's underlying tension on your team with that, it's not totally appropriate to fix on a public forum.

If you need to discipline a member of your team, then do so in private. An individual who doesn't contribute to the team, on most teams, doesn't attend competition.

However, don't seclude yourself. Having an open relationship with other teams discourages behavior like what you experienced. You don't have to distract yourself, in fact you shouldn't, but chances are you'll have to work this issue out with your mentors.
