Madlax is unique that they make their kids play in 4 or more events in the summer. That is a lot when kids are also trying to play in individual events. It's a positive for some families and a negative for others.

They do not make you play in 5 plus. You pay for four but if you say before the season I will miss this weekend no harm no foul. I have never seen a kid cut for missing a tournament.
