Edge Lacrosse (Canada) plays ALL of their teams down an age group. Not new.
How is it possible that tournaments allow a program to register their teams down? Wouldn't liability issues preclude such a practice? Entire teams playing down is entirely different than individual players form a liability standpoint.
It's because they're not technically "playing down". Many of their school system (it may be province-dependent) have an extra year built in. 2019 is a graduation year; to us it means 12th grade. To someone else it might mean 10th grade or college. If you go to "13th grade" and then graduate in 2019, you are technically a 2019. [/quote]
Basically, Canada views 2019 as when you enter college (grad hs in 2018, PG) USA views 2019 as when you grad HS (which is what it is supposed to represent for these tourneys. Coaches dont care because they get their hands on recruits at the same time.
