The nice thing about the truth is that it doesn't have to make sense.
But of course this does. The teams that do the trial game don't really know what the final game will be. First off there are several variations that are tested and secondly there are often huge changes made as a result of the trial run. Thirdly I think that a lot of the trial run teams really like doing it that way. They would not want to lose a good thing by leaking the game or parts of it to "real" teams. It's a great deal for the right schools. No money to raise. No travel expense. No presure of the competition. THe kids do it all and learn a lot. It's not a bad thing.
BTW I know that no one on my team went to talk to other schools about it.
