Which way were you affected....didn't get an assignment you deserved or got an assignment you didn't deserve?
Maybe the other guy that got the champ plate gig was deserving just as much as your friend. C'mon, it's not always "politics" in these tourneys as many people would have you believe. We need to quit perpetuating the sour grapes mentality when we don't get the assignments of our liking and lets be gracious and congratulate the ones that do...and be humble when we get the ones we may be surprised by of our own.
