If you work in the MIAA and you went ahead and played against kids that you knew were DQ’d on you.
What was the school that played with DQs?
A lot of people do it across many sports. Some get waivers too. There was a high profile lacrosse player awhile back whose school petitioned that he was born a month early and if he hadn’t been premature he would have been 18, not 19 when school started. He won. Now he was a high academic kid who reclassed after 8th grade too making the original defense silly.
Don’t spend time wondering how they make the sausage, just enjoy it
