That’s fine and would probably gain some traction of it wasn’t so mind numbing-ly irritating.

It’s really just the people who run the World Series trying to strengthen their product - IE make more money.

The Circuit tournament and the age poll USClub Lax are all roped in.

It’s fine. We get it.

So you think it's just some random troll or some greedy corporate interests upset about holdbacks?

I suppose the 5000+ responses to the USCL survey overwhelmingly in favor of going to an age based model were all Russian bots? Along with the countless posts on this forum complaining about holdbacks over the past several years?

You're trying to protect the status quo by claiming it's just a handful of folks/greedy organizations that are upset about holdbacks.

It's fine. We get it.[/quote]


I'm neither of you guys, but wanted to weigh in with some caution....that USCL survey was shared/amplified/reposted by (among others) a long list of coaches who have happily cut on-age kids for holdbacks. They "support on age ball" on the surface level but until forced otherwise, they are cutting an on age kid for a holdback, 10 times out of 10 if the holdback is 4" taller and 10lb heavier. It's not at all about "developing players." It's about "capturing today's most dominant talent and hope nobody takes it personally."
