Foosball League Draft

So tonihgt is the draft for this Montreal Garlando Foosball league. I played it 3 years and this might be my 4th. The format of the draft is really simple and stupid at the same time, teams of 4 with 2 force pick and a draftie. I totaly dissagree with this but now is not the time to complain(ill explain later why).

I did a pretty stupid move by refusing my friend Julien invitation to join his team. He was last year's best player and his team won most of the trophies. On top of that I would be with Thomas, a firend of mine that I get along with very well in and outside of the game. But why the F did I refuse this "auto-win"/"win-win" opportunity? My reasons were that I didnt want to risk having a really bad player that doesnt want to learn, the kind of player that is only there to have fun and will fail as soon as it gets serious. I get really competitive considering it cost us alot in time and money (11$ per week!).

There is still HOPE!!  Oh yes there is, I might lose alot in the process but i'm willing to take the risk. Let me explain, according to thier forum, there are 8 official teams so far :

Vicky,Gaspare,Ze....
Julien,Adrian,Thomas...
Nathalie,Chris(viado),Albert...
Jp,Julio,Danny...
Marc,Stephane,Stan...
Denis,Ivan.Mo...
Felix,Sebastien P,David S...
Dercio,Bruno,Sandro G....

Julien is definatly my first choice, if they can pick me im good. Nathalie is also a good choice since they are all my friends as well. Now with the others:

Vicky : I know most of them I would have my spot on Offence, could be good.
Jp : I'm not a big fan of thier play style, I dont think I would fit well.
Marc: Steph is a friend but they don't like me in general, they are Forward players so I would have to play D wich is not what I want.
Denis : They are a good team but I would still have to play D so no go...
Felix : Another team I would consider, I like thier playstyle and I would mostly play Offense.
Dercio : Derce is a good friend of mine but they seem like they just want to have fun and not play to win, definatly a no go.

I will probably have to go with whoever pick me but I will do everything I can to not get picked by a team that I don't want to play with. I will be one of the only semi-pro in the draft so the order will be an important factor here.

Again, there are ways to force myself into the team that I want but, after a talk with Julien and Thomas, the best option would be to stay legit and assume the decision. After all, I can just leave the league if I really don't like it. My team would have the opportunity to bring one of thier friends in. Basicly a win-win situation for everyone.
So i'm in stress mode until tonight, wich me good luck :D
