Who cares. Edge is a very good team with good skills. I would bunch them in with the top 5 or 6 teams. They don't dominate any of the good teams. I would rather compete with them than play a quasi town/weak club team and win 12-2. It's about development and playing under competitive pressure. Most of the top players play for their HS and against bigger kids. Getting used to being uncomfortable will surely build character.
Who cares? The kid who's spot is taken by an older Edge player. The parent feels pressured to hold their kid back because of the proliferation of clubs like Edge and their BS practices. The kid who hasn't hit puberty yet playing against Paul Bunyon and gets hurt. The parent who's kid loses scholarship money to an older Canadian kid.....
Tournaments have no way to police individual holdbacks, but they can force programs to play their teams in the appropriate division. If you want to get the holdback advantage, actually go through the expensive process of being held back.
