This sport will continue to lose credibility as the rules continue to change to accommodate the cheaters. It will get to a point it's just not worth the money or safety risks. Soccer and hockey are birth year with photo ID. And football has same and weight restrictions. Level playing fields making skill and athleticism the winning factors.
Putting a 5'7" 125 lb manchild against a 4' 11" 85 lb prepubescent kid is a dangerous situation. Its becoming more and more common. Everyone jokes about the kid who shaves and drives himself to tournaments. Funny until the ambulances start arriving at tournaments. Shelling out big bucks to cringe when your son is taking a physical beating against a kid 2 years older is getting old. Now tack on thousands to go to Denver where ,"he who has the most holdbacks wins". It takes away the integrity of the sport.
