If you want to criticize The Circuit you better despise Club Nationals and like tournaments. They have zero age restrictions and zero class verifications. This includes the mighty HoCo where there will be a large number of 2007 birthdays playing in the 8th grade division.
Gross.
ML and a few other tournament organizers (though, mostly on the lower level even below Aloha) typically have an "allowance" towards the very end of the list of tournament rules that if the coach considers their club to be a "community based lacrosse team" (no definition given for what that means), instead of entering their team according to the oldest grad year on their roster, they are allowed to "average out" the grad years.
Obviously the rule is geared towards low end, low resources rec club teams from outside of MD. Or is it?
