[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You dont create solutions that address 90% of the issue. Ignoring the other 10%. Same thing with Aug birthdays you cant just let them choose if they want to play with their grade or play down a grade. This is the issue.

What will happen over time is more school districs will start earlier. Which will expand the 10% youre ignoring to 15% or even higher. Also  because Aug is the oldest player possible for an age group there will be more of them over time. If theres more Aug birthdays there will be more Aug birthdays choosing to play down a grade.

By choosing to ignore these issues youve created a ticking time bomb that will only get worse over time. The squeaky wheels will get louder and louder. Once it hits a certain threshold soccer will address the issue in the dumbest way possible. Most likely with a league approved individual waiver program. Which club docs and coaches will exploit selling to the highest bidder. (This happened with DA and HS soccer waivers)

People that have been around youth soccer for a while know exactly what will happen next. People that understand math and trajectories over time also know exactly what will happen next.

Address the issues now with something like SY+30 or even SY+60 and all future issues go away.[/quote]No, of course entities go with a solution that solves 90 percent of the problem all of the time.[/quote]
Why not address 100% of the issues day 1 after switching from BY to SY?[/quote]

That has been outlined for you multiple times.

I am genuinely curious as to your end game with this?  is it just entertainment for you?  Do you actually think posting here 300 times will actually impact change? Do you have a kid that is impacted by this and it is somehow cathartic to think you are doing something/anything to help him/her?  Do you think you will actually change anyones mind to your side at this point (maybe you did 3 months ago but hasn't everyone been exposed to all sides by now)?

It seems like a tremendous amount of time and effort that could be used in more productive ways. The fact that you respond very quickly to antagonists would suggest you are on here multiple times a day for extended periods of time.

Maybe use the time kicking a ball with your child instead of arguing with strangers on the internet?[/quote]
It will be fun watching you choke on your own bile when MLS+GA announce something different than the foregone conclusion youve defined in your head.[/quote]
