[quote=Anonymous]I am not a MadLax cool aid drinker, but I do like to check facts, and your facts misleading.  MadLax DMV (B level) teams have been DQ'd twice in recent memory, once in a 2019 HoCo playoff game and once in a 2018 summer tournament, for kids playing down a grade.  In both instances they had a combined B team of two grades (2025 plus 2026) that MadLax chose to play down in 2026, rather than in 2025 like they should have.  MadLax used to have enough kids for two kids in every grade, but now numbers are down, so they have enough leftover players for about half a team in each grade.  So they have three options - turn the players away and have just one team per grade; play a combined team in the upper grade level, like they should, but they would get killed; or play down and risk an occasional DQ.  They are running a business so you can guess what they choose.

But to my knowledge, their Capital teams and National teams (such as Monuments) have always been legal from a roster perspective.  Their business depends on gaudy national rankings and top tournaments, and they would not risk a DQ for these teams.  They do stack their teams like crazy with holdbacks, re-classes, and flying kids in from around the country.  But as a prior poster said, that is legal in the grade based world of travel lacrosse.  I have never heard of a Capital or National team being caught with over-grade kids, or with kids not properly registered with MadLax and rostered with the appropriate tournament.

If I am wrong and somebody knows of an example of roster cheating on a MadLax Capital or National team, let's hear it![/quote]
