[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does club affiliation help yes, r some girls maybe give a spot not that aren’t earned, sure. This is lax unfortunately. Politics happen. But looking at rosters atleast for 2027 and 2028 some girls earned their spot from a good tryout[/quote]

IMHO, some of the players are on that list are just not talented enough to have that good a tryout.  Knowing I know now, should I suspect them of cheating? This very bad decision by someone was not fair to anyone.[/quote]

There’s always upsets and surprises when it comes to these selections. Sadly that’s just the reality.[/quote]

And apparently there is also cheating in this case, which I did not know until today. [/quote]

What do you mean by cheating? How exactly do you cheat your way through a tryout? You either play well or you don’t, the evaluators notice you or they don’t, or the evaluators are just completely off base with certain players. Which is it?[/quote]

Some girls are invited regardless of whether they have a good tryout because  the evaluators know the or of them.  They put in a good word or try to influence final roster choices beyond the rating the players get that day. It’s not based on the sole tryout.  There are biases built in. [/quote]

I understand your point, but I still don’t see that as cheating. The onus falls on AS to keep things honest and fair. If the organization is extending offers to players who missed tryouts, and cut players who supposedly had a great tryout, then AS is corrupt. To expect the players who missed tryouts to have the integrity to turn down an offer is unrealistic. I bet you anything the parents worked behind the scenes to get their daughter on the team anyways.
