[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm curious to know how chaotic the shuffle will be if/when they vote to move the age cutoff to July 31. How did it work 7 years ago? Did it kill off teams or even small clubs?[/quote]

This time should be less chaotic, but still chaotic.  By numbers, an underrepresented group is moving this time whereas it was an overrepresented group last time.  School friends may be united this time, whereas last time school friends were split up. Social maturity on new teams this time will be more aligned, so there will be less social anxiety (from the younger group) and less social exclusion (from the older group).  Yes, last time it killed off many teams, and some clubs.  But that was likely because the change was bad from a social perspective, and it's easier to kill teams/clubs at a lower, more social tier.  This time the drama will likely be more confined to the elite tiers.  Those teams won't be killed off, even if there are hard feelings in a shuffle.  [/quote]

I think it will still hurt some teams. My kid has decided to play up to stay with her current team. If the club says no, she's leaving. I think that will be played our across most teams where the kids have been together for years [/quote]
