People just get over the hold back thing for crying out loud! HoCo created the Holdback Division for the 2020's so those teams could all compete against each other. Every single team in that division has them. Accept it. Move on.
Crabs, FCA, Looney's, Team 91, Hawks, Rising Sons - they all have hold backs. That's why they are in the Elite Holdback Division! The good news is now the teams in the AA division, or legit age for the grade division, can't point at the hold back issue as a reason for teams winning or losing.
Very wrong. Two of those teams have a large number of holdbacks. Stop making excuses for why you are not in the bracket.
So your argument is that 2 teams have a large number of holdbacks but the other teams only have a small number? And that makes it unfair? Isn't that the pot calling the kettle black?
The point is that most if not all of the AAs -elite or not- have a combination of hold backs and summer birthdays. If a 2020 is not born between 9/1/2001 and 8/31/2002 they are considered not age appropriate 2020s regardless of when they were born or the story behind it. If teams feel they do not have ANY of those, then post your rosters on your website but the majority do so nobody can claim the elite bracket is the hold back bracket. Some teams in the bracket (Crabs and FCA) do have many more than what just happens naturally. Crabs obviously being the king and encourages it. But there are fantastic teams in that elite bracket that have the same number as teams in the regular AA and even the A bracket so just because you are not in AA do not paint the teams who are as laden with holdbacks. In this mess, no team is innocent and it is a matter of degrees but if they were to switch to MD state age guidelines, every team would lose kids.
