[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Generally speaking, can a futsal team play simultaneously in both A and B division of the same age group in futsal?
My kid is playing in an mdsl futsal league and we noticed that a team is playing essentially the majority of its A team in the B division. They just advanced to the finals with the most of same players in both divisions. Is this usually legal? I couldn't find any answers online.[/quote]

It happens.  Smaller, local leagues like MDSL usually do not have rules to cover situations like this.  Sometimes teams sandbag just for the purpose of winning a trophy.  This is when clubs sometimes prioritize winning over development.  Now the question is, does that same club have a real B team or C team? If so, they should be given the opportunity to compete in the B league.

I am not failure with MDSL rules, but you could pose the question to them.  However, I will say it is not unusual that A team/ A league players have to drop down to help out with B team games.  But if the whole team is doing it, that would be a league issue.  [/quote]
