Don’t leagues that hold tryouts avoid blowouts (one team ahead by a lot of points)?
Actually, all leagues have blowouts. You can never predict injuries or sicknesses or how young players will perform on any given day. Although blowouts are uncomfortable, they are an opportunity to learn – for both teams. We use the blowouts as a teaching tool and train our coaches to teach their players how to respond, whether they’re on the winning or losing side. Halo coaches have options of what they can do during a blowout, depending on the situation and the divisional rules.
