You are a buffoon. That is how it is supposed to work but if you think that is really what happened then you have not got a clue.[/quote]
That's exactly how it went. And no, I have no skin in the game at all. Either you weren't there or your son is not as good as you think he is. You trash an event simply because your son didn't make the team. You have no clue what you're talking about. [/quote]
Are you saying that there are only 25 or how may players that had on that team good enough to make the roster that day. If you believe that then there is no need to speak with you. The process was clearly rigged. You don't go down the line and pick random numbers and have all your players + players from the co sponsor of the even on the same team and everyone else on a different team. If you told me they did this after a 3 day tryout then I would say yes they had enough time to evaluate each of the kids and no kid outside of that group has a remarkable 1 day so his skills were miss judged. They decided who they would take after doing a few small area drills plus 3 kids from the other team[/quote]
I don't even understand your post. It was a one day tryout. That's all the time they had. The team was only playing in one tournament; why would they spend 3 days on tryouts?
There were 25 or so kids on that roster that showed more skill and talent than the other players at tryout. There were very few Igloo or S2S players there. There were a lot of Express and 91. There were a handful of Outlaws, some Ducks, some Legacy and some TB. There also a bunch of town kids that showed no signs of being on a travel team. Of all of the teams mentioned, which are the best? Bandits and Express. Why are they the best? Because they have the best players. It's pretty simple. I never said that the other players weren't skilled players. I think that every kid at that tryout was an above average player, but there are only so many positions to fill. And they were filled with the kids that had the best tryout.[/quote]
For someone with no skin in the game you seem to know a lot about what happened. Are you saying both coaches kids are better than the other players that showed up that day? That's just one example but I don't think you are being truthful about "not having skin in the game". Maybe your son is not a player but, since you know so much, you must be an organizer. Bandits and Express definitely have great players and picking them is an easy option but the purpose of the tryout was to pick the absolute best and that was not the case. I am not saying they didn't assemble a great team but it wasn't the 25 best.[/quote]
That was the general consensus for even the people that made the team. They didn't choose the best 25 from the tryout. The easy cop out was taking bandits and Express kids because they are the best team.
