Do you really think age is going to actually impact the top teams in this Golden 16 tourney? If this were the boy's side, I'd say yes, I can see it.... but girls, I just don't see that many older girls.
Yes because it’s birth year. So even a September - December 2010 who is technically an on age 7th grader (September 2010 to August 2011) will have to play with 2010s. I bet most teams have a mix of 2010s and 2011s. Some with 2010s born early in 2010 or even late 2009s both of which would be “holdbacks”.
So point is no 2029 team even if all kids are in the right grade will have enough 2010s or 2011s to play in a “birth year” tournament. Unless birth year means something different.
