Big whoop. Who makes sure the kids on the field that day are legit? The problem with player auth. is they can verify on computer all they want but unless the refs on the field check the day of its useless.
Exactly. Cheaters gonna cheat.
A lot can be done to prevent cheating. In many instances opposing teams know the kids who currently are older so they wouldn’t get away with it if people know them. Authentication is a great first step. Coaches, tournament directors, ref’s can all play a part in keeping people from cheating. If you are caught cheating tournament directors can ban players, coaches and teams in future tournaments as well. There’s a ton of things that can be done, hopefully this is a first step towards age based lacrosse. Many other sports have age based sports without issue. Lacrosse can do it too.
