And this wonderful development during practices, private lessons etc. goes up in smoke while smoking opponents who can barely skate...
Why then have games, tiers etc. Just practice with closed doors and all good.
School analogy again - you study hard, advanced math then come pre-test, test time half the question you are getting is 2+2, 2*2 etc. You are getting perfect stores and at first think it's cool, but then later you are asking yourself why I am learning so hard while my knowledge is not tested not nearly to the level.
Then with your perfect grades you apply to Harvard - and oops, there are students from other states who learned as hard you as you did but who tested and re-tested their knowledge and they get there while you are downgraded to community college...
