[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are 2 arguments regularly being ignored in this thread. [b]1. 24 months is 24 months regardless of when the cutoff is set. Therefore there is never more than 24 months between the youngest and oldest in the division. [/b] 2. The June 1st cutoff has been used by summer swim leagues around the country for DECADES. It’s not something new or some conspiracy to screw over kids born on May 31st. It’s done to keep the age brackets consistent through a super compact swim Season where there are 12 regular season meets in 5 weeks. [/quote] Except that the top age bracket in the NVSL is 15-18, so you can have a have a kid who turns 15 on 5/31 swimming against one who turns 19 on 6/2. That’s a lot more than 24 months. I personally don’t care when the cutoff is you can’t ignore that it can/does have an impact. [/quote]
