If tournament rules allow teams to bring whatever players they want, in age compliance, then there is nothing wrong with it. Bandits are playing by the rules. The 2023 Bandit players are extremely talented. Good luck tomorrow to all four teams in semi-finals. It should be a very high level of play and good competition.
Extremely talented is probably not giving them enough credit. But the second you bring in a kid who is not a 2023, you need to stop referring to them as a 2023 team. Call them a Dicks U-11 team or whatever, but don't call them a 2023 team when they have someone who isn't in that grade playing for them. Call them one of the top teams at whatever the right characterization is, but it isn't 2023 this week.
