I think anyone involved with baseball will tell you that an April cutoff is very confusing and doesn't allow the kids to play with there classmates. A fall cutoff pretty much keeps kids in the same grade playing together and covers most states. It really doesn't matter which date is used if the the kid gets an ID when he or she starts playing which indicates a graduation year you could still do things the same way its done now. Now when I say graduation year that may not be when the kid is actually going to graduate but when he or she should according to age. I think baseball has the right idea. We all now this could change a lot of teams but if you give people time it won't be such a shock. Although the only teams that are going to care are the ones cheating.
