If you think the white parents are going to settle for just being there you are sadly mistaken. They aren't going to be cheerleaders, they are going to play. 27 girls on a team is a nightmare. What happens when 15 of them only play attack and your daughter gets one shift per half? No one benefits from such a big roster. Can't rely on 5 girls missing each tournament either.
27 vs 21 means the average black team field players will get ~22 more minutes (a half plus) of playing time at your typical showcase event (4 games) than will the purples. That's a lot considering that minutes are probably more important to the purples from a "getting recruited" perspective.
I bet it won't be 27 by the time the tournaments start. Last year there were girls listed on various teams that weren't playing.
Like commercial airlines overbooking flights.... Unfortunately here, if nobody cancels, you can't give then a free ticket and put them on the next available flight.
2017 rosters are down. probably being changed for the better
