From my experience as a student, there were very few "grey areas" in terms of student participation, with the cut students not participating or showing interest and the ones who made it show a genuine interest in the team. This means that there are very few students who put in the time and work in the pre-season that get cut.
Our school has a technologies program, that includes robotics, that all of the Grade 9 students go through each year, and if students are cut, that is another chance for them to show their interest, and they can apply for consideration again in Grade 10, where they often work harder and make the team roster.
