Tryouts are just a way for organizations to make money. If you don’t have a spot on a U18 team already, you’re going to be playing for a bottom feeder team.

Tryouts are a fundraiser, you are correct but many kids think they have a spot only to be beat out or pushed to the fourth line because of a kid that showed well at tryouts-
Additionally, for many it is better to be a go to player on a lesser team than I bench kid on a top team
