Quote: Harry, it looks like you are saying it's OK to leave any team at any time to participate in another event. If it's OK to not play in a High School tournament (such as the Viking Cup) and participate in a Club event, then it must be OK to choose not to participate in a Club event. So based on this, it must have been OK for GBDawgs to have chosen not to go to Seattle.
You are talking out of "both sides of your mouth".
I've actually never said that it wasn't OK for anyone to miss anything. I believe that I have only said that it wouldn't be right to punish a player for choosing. Others have brought in the issue of commitment. Others have said how awful it was that these players left their teams to suffer in the preseason tournament without them. What I pointed out was that it was apparently OK to miss a club event to go to the beach, but not OK to miss a preseason hs event to go to a more competitive club event. I thought it was a little hypocritical.
