From everyones guess here, and they havent said the one I know does this its obvious all these clubs do this. Having been around for many years in the soccer I have seen it all including my own child many years ago when entering into the club atmosphere missed trypouts with a doctors excuse and when I asked about doing a makeup was told not to worry about it (they had seen my child play and that was good enough) and thats fine, save me my tryout fee.
I think tryouts are great for new players and to see new players in a game scenerio you need a full team on the field which includeds returning players at tryouts. The coaches know where they stand and if it wasnt about the $$$ then they could easily inform the parent at the end of season where their child belongs in the next season....
