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]
You seem to think that you're some kind of forum police telling everyone what to think.

Sorry, the more you fight against SY+30 or even SY+60 the better it seems.[/quote]No, the more you push a convoluted waiver idea to pick winners at the expense of every other player while forcing clubs to spend effort policing, the more it sounds like a political carve out lobbying campaign for the selfish.[/quote]
It's really not that hard.   Registration systems ask for birth year and grade.   Everyone already submits a birth certificate.   Let parents just say the grade.   If every parent in that 1 or 2 month range lies SOO what.   If your caught having lied your kid gets banned,  easy peasy.  It might be worth the risk for some but those people will find a way to cheat anyway. [/quote]
100% also once players make it to ECNL level rosters are public. Cheat all you want you wont be able to hide from the busy body moms with nothing better to do than confirm player grade in school. Especially if it gives their kid a win.[/quote]

Same guy again.  Nice try.  [/quote]
OMG seriously you are the only one repeatedly trying to claim it's only one person. The rest of us are having a conversation. [/quote]I agree with the PP, pretty clearly the same guy.[/quote]
I'm one of the SY+ posters it is most definitely not the same person.  Are you that threatened that others have different views than you? [/quote]Yup, different person. Just like Jim Carey me, myself and Irene.[/quote]
If believing in imaginary things helps you carry on,  but do us all a favor and stop repeating your made up claim every time you hear a view point you don't understand. [/quote]
This guy sits on DCUM all day long accusing others of responding to their own posts and saying 8/1 is the holy grail of soccer groupings.

Its going to be fun when GA comes out with something like SY+30 with a 9/1 cutoff just to mess with ECNL.[/quote] 
I'm more interested in what the pre leagues do. [/quote]
The pre leagues have already decided to switch to an 8/1 single date cutoff in 2026/27. Initially they tried to do a single 9/1 cutoff to avoid the August birthday issues. But, there was too much pressure so they switched to 8/1 to make everyone happy.

Now theres trapped players on both sides of 8/1 instead of just one side with BY.[/quote]

There will be 17 trapped players in all of the US with an 8/1 date.  I think it is an Amish community in PA and a Navajo tribe in NM. We have to stop managing by exception. ~30% of kids live in 8/1 or 8/15 start dates. Multiply that by 1/12 and it is a significant number. It falls to virtually zero with an 8/1 date. [/quote]
Do your calculation for misalignment.  [/quote]

🙄 There will be misalignment for either date. The only difference is that one side has a CHOICE model and the other side is TRAPPED.  If an August birthdate in a 9/1 state is a late bloomer it is a better development solution to potentially play with youngers for a few years and then CHOOSE to play up with grade. It is not difficult. So give 70% * 1/12 a choice model or FORCE 30% * 1/12 to be trapped and lose half an 8th grade season, be off the recruiting calendar and have to be on a brand new team their senior year.

So there is the calculation. I can try to use different words is this is difficult to understand…………[/quote]
And this is where the + comes in it solves all misalignment except for extreme cases of holding your kid back.   Why are you so against a system that will actually solve the problem, instead of creating another.  [/quote]
