And no, my son never repeated a grade and we don't play for the Crabs.


So tournaments should make special rules to accommodate holdbacks or kids who might holdback? That's just silly.

The rule page says the following "Placement on a grade based team (2018AA, 2019AA, 2020AA and 2021AA) is dictated by the highest grade of any player on the team." - the rule was not enforced and Aloha is responsible for that. Does not excuse the Crabs though, they knew exactly what they were doing.

In June of 2015 a 2020 team is finishing the 7th grade, and some of the kids on other teams were still in school", the kids the Crabs brought in had just finished 8th grade. Does not matter that they were doing it again, what matters is that they had already done it.
