Not a double holdback. It’s a single. But again still frustratingly unfair.
Sorry 11/08 is a double holdback.
Wrong.
Technically it’s a single holdback, but a Nov bday would put you in the oldest 25% even if you played on age, so playing down you could be competing against kids 21+ months younger than you. Whatever we call it, there’s a difference between a kid with an Aug bday who is a couple weeks older than on age and one who is 9+ months older.
Moot point, however, since this is allowed by the rules in only this sport.
(And before anyone wastes time with “go play soccer if you don’t like it, you ninny,” I will note that both golden gloves boxing and USA wrestling are age-based, not bc they are soft but bc it makes sense.)
