@PitchingFan posted:As far as I know, PG has never worried about age or grade. They have always allowed guys not on roster to play, even in championship games. The year my son's team made it to the semi's there were 4 kids on the other team including the pitcher and catcher that were not on the roster. It has always said 2021/17U or such. I t has always been either 2021 grade or 17U age whichever applies. They have never checked age that I know of and I've never heard of anyone turning in a team for playing someone illegal. I just figure if they catch you they just penalize you and your organization by not letting you enter tournaments so most teams are legit.
This is exactly the way PG has does it. Age, grade year, doesn't matter - either works for them. We played a team a few years back at the WWBA that had guys on the team that already played JUCO. The only penalty was those players couldn't play anymore and they had to forfeit their pool games. It didn't stop them from actually playing the pool games, because players still want to get seen and they don't have a way of easily redoing those schedules.
