It's time to admit that a certain small percentage of kids will, unfortunately, be reclassified. There will also be some programs who take it to the next step of registering entire teams in younger divisions for an advantage. This needs to be policed by tourney administrators, parents and coaches can do nothing. I am 100% in favor of age based bracketing but those that run lacrosse tournaments need to take action.

I for one will focus on enjoying the amazingly high level of lacrosse played in the Northeast USA and not enjoin these debates about which team is #1...who really cares?
