I'm not starting a debate about this, but had read this somewhere, and thought I would throw it out for discussion.
When a team at the lowest of the low is looking for players, don't they occssionally have open tryout days? So if the search screen were properly filtered, could that be simulated? Maybe randomly grabbing a couple of players from that properly filtered list and then offerring them a trial?
The question then becomes, does the search screen allow a proper filtering system?
Just some thoughts from a confused (read that as DMing)
