[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah no way they get banned.  Not that it wouldn’t be a just result, but won’t happen.[/quote]

Why not? At least suspend or ban the coach of the team. [/quote]

For what?[/quote]

MadLax entered a team in the 2026 A division and played the season with a number of 2025 kids. They played BLC in the playoffs, won and BLC immediately filed a protest (it must be done within 15 minutes of the game). The officials asked a number of kids on MadLax what grade they were in and the kids responded by saying they were in 6th grade. MadLax had to forfeit and the score shows up as a 1-0 victory for BLC. [/quote]

So the 5th graders self identified as 6th graders.  Time to move on.   This happens with all divisions of HOCO.  Get used to it.  The funny thing is that it happened in the "A" division which is really B-  I but more blame on the Bethesda coach.  If you knew this, you knew it long before this game, you knew it earlier in the season.  Would they file a protest if they won?  BLC is the shameful club here [b] To confront a sixth grader and make him feel like he did something wrong is the real problem. [/b]THE PLAYER DID NOTHING WRONG!  The coaches did.   HOCO league let's kids two-three years older play on teams and knows about this.  They have the birth dates. Any parent of any club knows this.  If you wait until AFTER the game to address this, that coach is the problem in this story.  I am not a Madlax parent and only know what I have read on these posts.  It sounds like a coach called out something he knew about before the game.  The refs should NOT have involved the players.  File a protest later.  The officials should not be asking the kids.  [/quote]

OK, so you have a B team that goes into a game knowing that the 5th graders and I repeat 5th graders are on the roster all season and made the B league play off game.  The other team has kids they know are 6th graders but have played on the  5th grade "B" let me repeat again B team all season.  NO protest is filed all season long.  A game is played with all parties knowing exactly who these KIDS are.  The B team loses the game.  The loser coach files a protest and the young kids are "questioned" on the spot and blamed for a forfeit.  Why did the other coach play the game?  Why did not one other team bring this up all season long?  If you are blaming the kids your are insane.  If this were the 2023 or maybe even the 2024 team I would understand as at least these kids could drive themselves to the game.

Bullshit. They're not stupid. They know what the rules are. They know they're cheating. [/quote][/quote]
