Well, if you are anything like the crabs, you have two versions of the team. One is used when age is restricted, the other is a free for all. I think Long Island is one of the few places where ethics are still important to most. That is why it is particularly upsetting to see some coaches taking the easy way out an reclassing their own kids! Too bad it won't help. Karma[/quote]

Rules is rules! Can't cry about the "loosened" age bracket when everyone is subject to the same restriction - no one received any special treatment over anyone else. [/quote]

plus these are grade based tournaments, not U brackets [/quote]

You mean the cheating (because you are not good enough to compete at your own aga) bracket? [/quote]

Call them what you want - bottom line is, the teams didn't set the tourney rules. There is no argument you can come up to refute that, so please don't bother. [/quote]

are you sure the teams didnt have ANYTHING to do with the dates. Just like US lacrosse wont define levels by DOB because some within US lacrosse MAY have family or friends which benefits its loose interpretation..[/quote]

Everything is subject to influence, I suppose - that's in every aspect of life, can't avoid it.
