That is a great point. Each club owner charges a lot of money to the families to get them the right looks. Signing up for lousy tournaments is bad, and nothing good happens when you take $2500 from a family to get the kid recruited and then rostering 25 kids around all of whom need to be showcased. There will always be bloated and watered down tournaments. It would be a good start if the club owners would call each other and make sure that their top team will be on board with other top teams at tournaments.
