[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So who are rhe winners and losers when playing down?

Winners....
1. Holdbacks
2. College coaches see more players 
3. Clubs might get more commitrments. But this is negligible because players that might have been. recruited are sitting on the bench because of the play downs.

Losers.
1. Correct grade players (if they wanted to play up they would have played up)
2. Parents of correct grade players. Imagine not getting any minutes at a showcase that you paid for becauae older players are playing down.
3. Rankings. How do rank games with play downs for a limited number of games during the season?
4. Everyone because playing down will be normalized and become table stakes for getting recruited.
5. Players whos parents force them to be a holdback to potentially get less cost college.

This is just scratching the surface. Theres 10x more reasons why allowing play downs is a bad idea.[/quote]In total, the gains outweighs costs on this one for clubs, colleges and the best players. Full speed ahead for olders playing grade at showcases.[/quote]
No they dont.

Clubs will lose money because playdowns dont pay.[/quote]You funny. Playing down isn't allowed and players pay to be in the club not on a specific team. Players can get promoted or demoted at any point during the year.[/quote] 
This is not what the rules say. In GA you pay for the year.In ECNL you pay for the year but can be moved between NL and.RL.

imagine paying for the year then getting bumped midway through the season for an older player. Who is already in the club and playing for their years dues or from another club and likely shopping for a free ride.

Again poor choice by the club. You make less money with holdbacks.[/quote]
