[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sock puppet 1: Hey, what about SY+30 Sock puppet 2: Oh yeah hey, what a great idea. Normal people: Please, please stop, it's not going to happen single poster guy. Sock puppet choir: What! Everybody's talking about how great SY+30 would be! All of us real posters are so mad you think there's only one of us. [/quote] What does that make you when you are clearly wrong. If they were going to go with a single date it needed to be 9/1. 8/1 is a shitshow for August families that chose to start on time. It's not our fault you are incapable of understanding nuance.[/quote] If you're going to choose a single cutoff date for everyone across the US 8/1 is better than 9/1. But the problem with 8/1 is instead of just having the issue of trapped players under BY you've now introduced the possibility of August players to play down a grade. Oh and also there is a very small amount of schools that start in July this means with 8/1 theres still trapped players. So SY with a single 8/1 cutoff still has a small number of trapped players and now theres a new issue of Aug players playing down a grade. What makes BY with a 1/1 cutoff nice is that its not tied to anything related to the grade in school. It has a trapped player issue but everyone is affected relatively evenly and nobody is playing down. SY+60 with a 9/1 cutoff addresses all trapped players including districts that start in July, it doesnt allow Aug birthdays to play down a grade, and doesnt allow hold backs / regrades. For clubs it makes things incredibly easy because all you need to ask players is what grade they are in school and that's their grouping. Its also easy for tournaments and recruiters because groupings are all based on grade only. On top of everything else its a single rule set that works for everyone across the US allowing everyone to playvagainst each other without issue.[/quote]
