Lie I said. It will be the norm, trust me. They will run these teams in the future as separate teams. Separate tryouts, separate practices and extra fees. And that way there will be no whinning about some kid that is replaced for an younger kid in the grade above. All.good from where I sit. You play win a tourney like this.
That logic is not in the spirit of the games. Teams are supposed to compete, not a group of boys (in the case of Igloo and Legacy, a handful high school-bound players on each) who are recruited to join a middle school team just for one tournament. I imagine that this assembly of boys for both programs did not play in any other games, leagues, tournaments but WSYL. Just put a roster together for one tournament. That is not what the overwhelming majority of participating programs did, rather they chose to compete as the true teams that they are, which is both honorable and respectable.
As long as wsyl has age requirements different than the vast majority of teams, they will be a 2nd rate tournament. Either the teams will have to change to match wsyl or wsyl will have to change to match the teams to be considered a legitimate championship.
Hopefully, the teams change to match WSYL.
When you say the wsyl has "age requirements different than the vast majority of the teams" - do you mean that the wsyl has actual age requirements and that these teams have specified age requirements that are just different? Or do you mean that wsyl age requirements just don't line up with the ages of the players on these teams because they are older?
