There are 2017's who are born after sept 1 1999 that were eligible for U-13 last year. They played in the 2017 bracket for every other tournament. Since 80 percent of the team were 2018's, those kids are playing up in those tournaments. Why is that so hard to understand. Unreal!!!!
One of the elements in your post that makes it tough to understand is talking about what happened LAST YEAR with U-age brackets. Below, you will find the current age group tables for the Classes of 2017 and 2018.
Despite the confusion, you are actually correct in the first half of your statement - the Class of 2017 students that were born AFTER September 1st, 1999 who are currently U/14 were U/13 eligible last season.
The incorrect part is saying that the older Class of 2018 students were playing up last year in U/13 - in fact, they were on the right age group.
12/01/98 - 08/31/99 ... Class of 2017 ... 9th Grade .... U/15 09/01/99 - 11/30/99 ... Class of 2017 ... 9th Grade .... U/14
12/01/99 - 08/31/00 ... Class of 2018 ... 8th Grade .... U/14 09/01/00 - 11/30/00 ... Class of 2018 ... 8th Grade .... U/13
