You do realize WSYL is age eligible and verified event. holdback or not they play ON AGE. Every event lacrosse should be run on age. If soccer and hockey can do it why can't lacrosse??

Yes, I realize that WSYL is age-based eligible. Presumably the Top 30-ranked teams we have been playing have significant players over the age limit as they are not in the WSYL. Agree with your statement that all tournaments (at least below high school) should be age based. You could make an argument that at the high school level, kids will be playing on their school teams against kids of multiple age levels, but it should still be at least be grade-based.
