I think that while it's a nice advantage for the Baltimore area teams to have a lot of tournaments in the area; however, I think teams that travel from several states away like LI Yellowjackets, Eagle Stix, etc. come with their whole rosters while nearly all the local teams I see typically miss players in the summer/fall to soccer and other commitments.
I’m not sure I agree with your premise. Teams from other areas have multiple sports players, sickness, etc. as well. The bottom line is that teams have to play and not look for excuses if they lose.
