[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Eventually if play grade down guy actually has an Aug birthday kid it will be interesting to see how they'll use rae as an excuse when college coaches ignore their kid when recruiting.[/quote]
The grade down guy is a littles parent that thinks he knows everything. Once players get to HS (and should be before) groupings are all done by grade because this is what college coaches are looking for.[/quote]

I see brackets defined by grade all the time at tournaments 🙄[/quote]Showcases will be by grade starting next year.[/quote]

Is this documented anywhere?[/quote]Posted by USYS

Was in very small print.

Grouping older players by school year places players in a more consistent emotional and physical developmental environment. School age grouping will help college recruitment. Players of the same graduating class will be participating together in high-level tournaments and showcase matches.[/quote]
As youve been told multiple times. This does not mean GY. USYS is just calling out that by changing from BY to SY + along with August birthdays playing up all players on the field will be one grade in school. (As opposed to the way things were under BY)[/quote]That doesn't make any sense. It doesn't mention August playing up and many kids in age groups, not just August, are off grade. Going grade year requires a bunch of kids switching teams, some will play up and some will play down.

Showcases going graduation year, "Players of the same graduating class will be participating together in high-level tournaments and showcase matches."[/quote]
Think about it.

In SY all players on the field will be one grade assuming Aug birthdays play up (not down).

This is what USYS means + the way things were pre 2017.[/quote]It's ok for Showcases to go graduation year, they are just exhibitions for the players. It's nice the USYS was clear that Showcases will combine players of the same graduating class regardless of age together for Showcases.[/quote]

Make sense. All problem solved. Aug guy is happy now. Showcase is about a show. Winning is far less important. Everyone graduating the same year can attend. It is like in MLSN fest , There are temporary teams formed by uncommitted players competing against each other[/quote]
