Platinum Cup rules has age-cutoff of January 1 so seems like Evolve was placed properly.
Sorry hoser. Evolve was playing with mostly rising 10th graders. No mention of a January 1 cutoff. This is why The Circuit was such a big success. Age and class verification.
DIVISIONS – BOYS: * 2024 (Grade 11) * 2025 (Grade 10) * 2026 (Grade 9) * 2027 (Grade 8) * 2028 (Grade 7) * 2029 (Grade 6) * 2030 (Grade 5) OTHER INFO: * This event is for Boys teams * This is a AA event * All players MUST register to participate * All players MUST be members of USA Lacrosse * Divisions are based on “grade completed” by Summer 2023 * The division that a team plays in is dictated by the oldest player on that team * This event is open to any and all, limited only by age and number
Hope everyone realizes that circuit only verifies online. Nobody verifies on the field. Nothing stopping teams from putting whoever they want on the field come game time.
But they did verify and there were rules with limits and the clubs all agreed. The rosters did not change after January 1. It was a great effort and really well run. One look at the size of the players on the field told you it was different. It was also noticeably different looking at the rosters vs the same clubs rosters at different tournaments.
