Don't you hate it when children's competitions are rigged?

Our cheer squad just went to the regional competitions and performed flawlessly! We were so proud of our girls for all of the hard work that they have done throughout the year. One team that wins every single year, also performed, but this year dropped a girl from a pyramid. We were certain that they would not be able to take first place with this! But you guessed it...they did!To make matters worse...we bought the t-shirts that they were selling as souveniers. These t-shirts had to be made 1 or more weeks ago to have them available to give out that day. When we looked at the shirts, the teams that placed were located on the shirt in the order that they placed...with our team name being listed at the bottom! HOW OBVIOUS CAN THIS BE?What is sad is that we try to teach our youngsters to be good sports and to do the right thing...when everyone around them is just rubbing their noses in it. Sorry..I just had to get it off of my chest!Here's a pic of my little girl with our 4th place trophy. They are number 1 in our books!
