Just make sure you undrestand the difference between shootout tournaments (4 games in 2 days for the sake of playing high-level ball) and the national qualifying tournaments. If it is a national qualifier, we are talking about a serious competition with a lot on the line (especially in my region where we routinely have a couple of teams ranked top-ten in the country in an age group).
I am sure that most making these comments understand this, but all should be aware. National qualifying is what many players work for all year (for several years) to achieve, and the qualifying events are some of the biggest games of their year. If they are HS, it gets them to tournaments with tons of college recruiters, which is important for their future.
