Where does it say a kid is deserving of a pass on the tryout agenda or itinerary. I doubt any parent regardless of their sons pecking order in this age group would believe he is entitled to a roster spot. The kid who was reserved a spot is probably very good but any kid can be matched up against another great player and look mediocre in the eyes of the evaluators. On a more disturbing thought why should evaluators have any knowledge of a boys reputation or team affiliation if this is a National Lacrosse Event. The whole thing is rotten and perhaps a letter campaign to the Event sponsors or coordinators needs to be an option. It may not change this outcome but prevent these things from happening in the future and remove the people in positions of authority who continue to allow it.
