Last year, Nationals 2027 added players already rostered on other teams in the very same division. Obviously, opposing players and coaches noticed and complained to the event organizers. The organizers (MadLax) cut Nationals a break by allowing them to play in the playoff round, which Nationals won, but then told them that they were not welcome to come back. Seems perfectly reasonable to me.
If that's the case, why Madlax allow the Nationals register, pay, and fly down to FL if they were banned from the event for previous year's behavior?
Meh they didn't "fly down," but at least by the time the Nationals families heard, many had booked flights. Maybe some were unrefundable? Not sure whether ML told Nationals at the last Tournament not to come back, or if that notification was months later. I suppose that timing will be litigated.
Certainly the litigation will be focused on whether their "banning" was essentially fair to the Nationals Org or not. Beyond that, whether it was "discriminatory" is a very high bar to meet.
