There are so many ways to game the system, it's a joke. If rules against playing by birthdate aren't going to be imposed, then everything is ok on the reclass front. You can hold your kid back in first grade, start him late, reclass in 8th grade or say that you'll reclass your kid at a later date and play down. There is only one single reason to do any of this and that's to give your kid an advantage by playing against mostly younger kids.
