after being "unselected" from one Nat'l, well, lets just leave it at "no thanks" :-)

It isn't good, but you were not "unselected". They cannot put a gun to the head of the teams and make them play, but they have to be prepared. Or they could have kept you on the roster, work one or two games a day. This is the business end of it. It isn't nice, but it may have been necessary.

But if that was your reason for turning them down for the 16U....well, lets say I'm disappointed. You original selection to Killeen may have been what got you the call for the 16U.
