Tournament schedules come out soon if not already. If a team has a scheduled tournament and then they cancel it, I guess that can be avoiding the fray as you say. I've never seen that and I have 3 kids, 2 in high school. Besides I don't classify a kids team losing a game as fray. Maybe because I have 2 older kids and been through this already. Losing is part of sports, it happens teams win and teams lose. If teams are getting crushed or doing the crushing they need to maybe move up or down a bracket. I understand that. In my opinion competitive games are what's good for business.
