[quote=Anonymous][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]

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

READING IS FUNDAMENTAL - 6th GRADERS WERE PURPORTED BY MADLAX as 5TH GRADERS - while players are allowed to play up, they are not allowed to play down.. To clarify, Hoco is a grade based league while NVYLL is an age-based league. Unlike a summer tourny, Hoco league has 5 divisions (B, A, AA, AAA, Elite) for 2025 6th graders. Madlax DMV should not be fielding a team w/ some 6th graders in a 5th grade A division - no matter how bad they think their team is. BLC did nothing wrong by protesting - the refs are given the discretion to make sure coaches and players are following Hoco rules.[/quote]

Do you think the kids who are normally on 2025 (in 6th grade) did [i]not know[/i] that they were being told to play with a 2026 (6th grade) team, and that this was wrong? Of course they knew. To repeat: these kids are not stupid.[/quote]
