Multiple teams see kid during qualifiers and post the TX kid issue here on BOTC.
Several teams know, and even CoachC knows.
Kid and parents provide photo with TX club info and did not hide in any way
Kid was great in Qualifiers

Kid comes back full time after school year finishes in TX
Kid is really great in WSYL

This win will always have a big asterisk on it it. Did parents and 91 request an exception? Would be great to hear from WSYL as to how it was handled.
