[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]its just ridiculious reading what age guy writes because its all so obvious that his end goal is older players (36 months older) playing against correct age players.

Always looking to steal accomplishments from younger players.[/quote]

No one is pushing for 36 month age groupings. You’re the only one pushing for kids to play up based on grade.

12 months is it. Anyone who wants to play up can if they are able and the club will allow it.[/quote]
If play downs / holdbacks are allowed they will be potentially 36 months older than the youngest correct grade player.

This is because HS allows players to be held back 2 times.[/quote] Fear mongering alert. Going with a 12 month age window for league play solves this, whoops already done. [/quote]

I have a misaligned August player and hoping they can play on age. But league games don't seem as important as tournaments and showcases. If showcases are going graduation year this will be a challenge for those who are misaligned. [/quote]
Showcases arent going GY.

Age guy is just trying to start a rumor because he wants older kids to play against younger ones.

Heres why...
1. Once we change to SY almost everyone will be the same grade at games. If August birthdays play with their grade in school team 99.9% of players will be the correct grade. 
2. Holdbacks can be up to 36 months older than correct grade in school players. This is because schools allow students to be held back 2x.
3. Showcase results determine playoff seeds. It would be unfair is players not on the team define who the seed against in finals.[/quote]

It seems like age guy is arguing for grade in showcases, and grade guy is arguing for age for showcases.

Maybe they're the same person and their ultimate goal is to keep this thread going?[/quote]
