I know this will probably never happen for many reasons, but would clubs ever change the format for tryouts? The current format of everyone having their tryouts for the same 3 days is 100% Club focused and 0% player focused. Is there any chance we could ever move to something like the below:
By doing this
- Tryouts move from 1 week to 2 weeks
- Clubs cannot make an offer until the end of week 1
- After week one clubs can only make offers for x% of a teams roster (2/3 to 3/4).
- Clubs are expected to let you know where you stand even if an offer isn't made. A club may elect to only make offers for their top 1 or two teams but players will know where they stand.
By doing this
- Players can explore 2 teams and clubs can get a decent look at them
- Clubs can get a better look at players seeing them possibly 6 times
- Players aren't having to put all their eggs in one backet or try to figure out where they stand and what to do if they are looking at two clubs
- Clubs are protected from their own greed to some extent and may be able to build better teams by better identifying talent and not making offers to quickly.
