With all due respect Centerville, I think that's an oversimplification/generalization. I think much has to do with the number of organizations in a geographic area, those organization's approaches to adding teams, the knowledge of the players and their families about the organizations, etc. I know of at least two traditionally statewide respected organizations in this area that have scheduled additional tryouts this coming weekend. Why is that? Did they not fill their teams first time around? Did they add additional teams? But guess what ... there are some very good players stalling on offers from other organizations who are going to come away empty-handed if those organizations decide not to wait for them. I just talked to a parent this evening whose daughter and about 50 other girls went to such a tryout and found out there were only 4 spots open, and now they're back-tracking to see what other opportunities are still available. I don't know what the right/best answer is, but I know it's a difficult process for coaches and players/families.
This plus the fact it was national tryout weekend last weekend. So alot of people are going to their other choices this weekend on their list. Those teams who rushed to cover might just be missing the boat...
