Is it optional to be seen again by the managers, or mandatory?
I can't find where it says it is mandatory in the book.
Thanks for your help.

We redraft every year and we have all returners and all new player tryout.
That gives the "new managers" the opportunity to see all of the players.
If the returners do not attend tryouts then the returning managers have an advantage at the draft.

Just to be clear though, that is a local rule, correct?We redraft every year and we have all returners and all new player tryout.
That gives the "new managers" the opportunity to see all of the players.
I don't see a place in the book that mandates it per Little League rules?

Reg. IV(f)
Any candidate failing to attend at least 50 percent of the spring tryout sessions, shall forfeit league eligibility unless an excuse is presented which is accepted by a majority of the board of directors.

Have the BOD approve this "justification" and the player is then eligible to be drafted.
Now, if the player misses all 3-4, there better be a real good reason !!!

Make all players tryout.
Make sure your BOD has this policy in place.
All managers need to see the talent level each time.
You could have new managers that don't know all the kids, or quite often, a player's skill level will change from one year to the next.
One of the primary jobs of a LL is to ensure a competitive balance among teams.
All parties involved should do their utmost to make sure this happens.
