I think the point was, in many instances, the kids are still only a month or two apart in age...not a year older. The kids with the late birthdays that were " held back" are the ones that are close in age with many on their team. Being called "cheaters" in those instances sounds ridiculous.
They are CHEATERS. The cut off is the cut off, period. Even it's a day. Sadly, since it is not enforced some of you people make your own rules and cut off dates, then you try to justify it. Bottom line is you have an UNFAIR advantage, and if you think you don't, then why don't you play with your own age group??
So if my kid is "a day" older than your kid he has an "UNFAIR advantage"????
