We’ve been on a team without a lot of turnover so can someone remind me if it’s normal to have a tournament after tryouts for the next year’s team? Maybe that’s normal and it just wasn’t notable, but with some of the reshuffling that seems to be going on it seems like that could create some weird situations this year.
I wouldn't call it normal, but I can see how it happens. Every year teams hold tryouts earlier and earlier, trying to get a jump on each other. They used to be August, but now are mostly July. Plus, "guest players" are a common occurrence at summer tournaments. So it is inevitable that tryouts and summer tournaments will bleed into each other. Of course there are wierd situations.
