Challenge Matches over, Totally don't know what to do

Alright so I was finishing up my challenge match to get to #10 spot (I started off as #12) I lose 7-6(7-5) 6-7(4-7) 2-6, Since we played the last set today and the other 2 on Friday,

The thing that really upset me was how much of a hypocrite my coach is, She says she follows the rules to a T and so on, But she's letting the #14 player play the Lowest Varsity player for his spot, The #4 Varsity playing #2 just because #3 was absent one day.. When in 3 weeks she could have had the whole team doing challenge matches, There are still people on my team (Team of 17 people), Who haven't played a single challenge match.

So my question is how to deal with a coach who bends the rules according to their own little way of doing things? I mean #14 playing #7 is a huge bend... There's actually two #8's according to her because somehow #14 jumped to #8 without playing a single match, and previous #8 is still #8. This sort of thing is really aggravating me because I lost due to a horrible off day today, and I'm not one to make excuses for losing. Two tiebreakers and a 6-2 loss shows how much of an off day it was.. Still I was forced to play.. When the season doesn't officially start till next Wednesday (First match). I kind of feel like quitting the team but then again I don't want to do that... I'm leaning towards me not quitting the team though...Not sure.

it's very simple. just win. forget everything else.

Life lesson there ZI. We don't always agree with what the higher-ups do or understand why, but there's often nothing we can do but go along with it and do the best we can with what we have. You could quit, but who do you think that really hurts? Do you think the coach will care? If you want to play, then play and try not to let the stupid stuff get to you.

Observe a lot - like your doing - so when you're in charge things will be different. Unfortunately, some coaches aren't very good or are very misguided by a variety of factors. Your day will come and although you don't see it yet, its right around the corner.
