No, course not. Just pointing out it was bad luck that defeated you, not a faster internet connection! I know you're pissed off, but I don't see why the seat has necessarily gone to a "know-nothing prick". It's unfortunate that the club doesn't take into account loyalty to this, but to be fair, all other competitions are divvied up on loyalty and it's as open to "abuse" as a simple first-come, first-served.
