[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok so we're getting closer. It sounds like you admit that using rae logic that young grade older players would be in the group most likely to be playing up. Now just sprinkle a little club incentive to play young players with their grade for recruiting and boom. You have teams that are playing by grade.[/quote]No, this is where again you no knowing English as a first language becomes a problem with communication and could be why you are confused. Read the 9 clubs that say that playing up is rare and playing on age is their guiding light. Clubs go towards the oldest on each team. It's science.[/quote]
Its funny how when you get backed into a corner you just strawman your way out. This time its knowing English other times August guy.

You believe in rae I outlined how it would affect teams. Now you're interpreting rare as never happening. When it could easily mean 3-4 "rare" players playing up per top team. Especially when recruiting for college is added to the mix and players are expected to play with their grade.

Its going to be fun watching you continue to say clubs wont roster by grade when ECNL player profiles are listed next season.[/quote]Older kids  tend to get top teams, younger kids tend to get overlooked almost nobody gets to play up. So August kids have an advantage and July has a disadvantage under SY. Basic stuff.[/quote]
So in SY because of rae August birthdays (followed by September birthdays) are the ones most likely to be playing up. Yes or No?[/quote] For competitive clubs, nobody gets to play up (except National teamers which would be skewed towards Jan-May) and July, June and May will on average struggle for top team slots in SY like Oct, Nov and Dec struggled under BY. So nobody is likely to play up because the top team slots are taken by the older player birthdates in the age group. [/quote]
That makes no sense. Now because you refuse to admit the obvious you're mixing BY into SY. You also added that only National Team players would be the only ones play up which was not written or defined anywhere.

So slimy just admit the truth.[/quote]It's over. ECNL didn't want players playing up except in very rare circumstances on a case by case basis and teams agreed. 9 to 1.[/quote]
I went back and listened to the ECNL podcast and I dont think your interpretation is correct. It sounded to me that Lavars didnt want younger teams playing up a level. Which makes sense if you want to maintain the credibility of the league. I don't think he was talking about individual players.[/quote]9/4, "When I play a player up, I would say that player has to be not just a starter on the age group above but they need to be a major, major contributor and standout on the age group above."[/quote]
This is fun. I read through the transcript and here is where they talked about playing by grade + on the B team if you didnt make the A team....

"Speaker 2: 24:31
The same decisions and the same conversations that we will have to. So. So, but because we just addressed what I would, uh, consider the cleanest, simplest example an older age group of teams of like level, all right. Now you go down into a younger age group, you go from u8 to u9, u9 to u10, something like that. I think that's a slightly different issue because there's going to be more peer group issues. Potentially there's more social issues because the kids are younger. That complicates it. But then you also look at most clubs. Most bigger clubs have multiple levels of teams, right? So in theory you can apply resistance by moving them up a level. So you go from the age group you know 13 to the second team."[/quote]You need a more clear quote to make a point. [/quote]
