FAQ: Why am I not playing with my regular team?
Not everyone can attend the sleepaway this year. We’ve made adjustments: not one travel team has 100% player sign-up this year for the sleepaway.
We may have reassigned you to another team or combined players from different teams, prioritizing playing time. If your position was needed on another team, you were moved accordingly. Setting up this tournament takes several hours and isn’t easy. Despite our efforts to keep teams together, our priority is ensuring everyone gets to play. For instance, if one team has 11 kids and another has 7, we’re moving 2 over to balance playing time for everyone.
