Madlax does not try to hide any of the holdbacks from anyone. They know they are not breaking any rules. Because there are no rules when it comes to grade based teams. Ok no enforceable rules with grade based teams. Can someone show me the official cut off date for what grade you are in. You start the year in a grade in school. On the last day you find out if you passed or failed that grade, or you want to redo that year. So one could say you have picked or been told to do the year over on the first day of summer. So you are know graduating in this new year. This point is a fact and the person is not lying. Are the gaming the system, does it suck and hurt other people yes. But it is still with in the guide lines of grad based teams. I hate it but until they point a age limit along with the grade this is all mute. No one is "cheating" they are just playing with in the crappy rules to make the best team. When the little private school fly's in a 7 foot center for the basketball team, when the college has 27 year old players,when the home team lets the grass grow or cuts it short,when the coach ices the kicker, when a team has players from 3 states away or 4 hours away on the team, when a club pays all the fees for a poor really really good player, All these things are with in the rules but some could be looked at as cheating. But cheating is when you break a clear rule. Grade based teams have no clear rules. First verbal of 2019 was a reclass kid on a team with reclass kids. When it stops working it will stop.
