[quote=Anonymous][quote=FPYCparent]In no way am I suggesting that players at Paramount (regardless of the team) are NOT deserving of the playing time they got during the season.  I just wanted to inform anyone interested that some players travelled to qualifiers last season (multiple events, perhaps) and did not get on the court.  So, players and families have to have realistic expectations given the expenses involved.  This is a "business" decision for family ... and likely isn't unique to players considering any club that attracts players at the highest level.

Here's another story that may be worth sharing ... and one that I did NOT independently confirm.  A Paramount player reached out to a college coach ahead of time to share her team's Triple Crown NIT court schedule.  (The player knew that the college coach would also be at the event.)  I believe (but again, I cannot confirm) that the Paramount coach was made aware that this college coach would be at the court for the opportunity to see the player in competition.  The college coach showed up while Paramount was on the court, but the player was never put into the match.

...

Someone also mentioned the Paramount team that got an Open bid to USAV last season.  Without going back and checking results (it looks like AES has already flushed some things), I think that team got the Open bid at a qualifier later in the season (NEQ, maybe?).  That team did not make it to the Gold bracket (well, not in the top 4) at that event.  However, because five of the top eight or so finishers had already earned Open bids at previous qualifiers, the bids trickled down to the three teams remaining in the top eight that didn't already have an Open bid.  Since those "newly-qualified" teams were all getting Open bids, I don't even think the Silver bracket matches were even played.  The Gold matches were played.  Someone please correct me if my facts are wrong.  Nonetheless, that Paramount team had to be good enough to even get to that point.  That team just didn't get the Open bid with a top 3 finish at a qualifier.[/quote]
I would not share stories that are not confirmed. What if it is just a made up story to drive people away from the club? Plus, I feel like you offered enough personal information on this forum for the club to identify your DD. I am not saying that they are crawling on dcum to figure out what people are saying about the club, but they might. If the coaches are so subjective about who they play and are so petty about who they don't play, your DD might suffer some consequences. [/quote]
