[quote=Anonymous]The lack of tryout info is probably because the overall plan for the team is still in the works.  Combining the three teams is a cool idea, but think about the details.  For example, on which nights will Black Ops hold their February and March practices?  They will need to de-conflict with all three teams and those teams probably do not even know their spring schedules.

And if the three programs are smart, they are negotiating a no-poaching policy for Black Ops players, and trying to figure our how they will enforce it with their own families, without pushing players out.

They also need a plan on how to handle players from MadLax who want to try out.  The top MadLax players are probably realizing about now that an all star team of three programs has a better chance of advancing to the ESPN round than an "all star" team from just one program. So Monument may prove to be nothing more than a very expensive opportunity for another beat-down from the Hawks, and probably a worse beating than usual, since the older MadLax kids cannot play.  So MadLax was smart to get the $75 up front, but they will have a hard time getting their best players to pay thousands once they see the roster and consider how far the team is likely to advance.

So Black Ops needs to figure out if it wants those MadLax players, and assuming it does, how to explain their inclusion to families in the original three clubs.

It is possible that the silence on tryout teams means that Black Ops has been aborted, but not likely. Anybody who wants to be included had better hold the entire weekend free, and wait for a last minute announcement on when and where to try out.[/quote]
