I know that.

I’m asking why they let him join without giving him a tryout but kicked all those other people out from the tournament. If they “were pretty underpowered…” like the comment I replied to, I’m asking why they let him in without testing him like the others they found unfit.

They saw him in action against the Lizard League and felt that he would be a good fit considering his skills.

The whole point of the tryouts was to see how potential members handles themselves in combat and they got to see Shapesmith against a live threat.
