No, you really don't get it.   Tryouts and a draft for purposes of distributing talent to ensure competitive balance across a league are nothing like travel soccer tryouts.  Not at all.

If it seems silly to you that it might be inappropriate to ask that another kid gets cut from a team he deserves to make,  just so your kid can be on the same team as his friend from school, then it's because you are selfish.   You seem incapable of emphathizing with the other kid - the one you're asking to get bumped - and considering the possibility that it might actually matter to him.   I can assure you that for many,  it really does.

I agree with the other poster, that if you are voluntarily giving up a spot on a higher team and asking that your kid be moved down,  thus opening up a spot on that team for another kid to be moved up,  it's an entirely different situation, but you don't seem to be able to recognize that difference.

The bottom line is that travel teams are not grouped by school.  If that seems silly to you,  you should probably have your kid stay in rec, or switch to baseball.
