Calhoun I read it as a signal to enforce it...PLUS limiting it to only 2. So whereas before you could be U13 OR a 7th grader, now they are saying you actually have to be U13 except for up to two exceptions. So once it roles up to the older ages, the 17 and a half year old kid who has reclassed and, under the current rules, can still play with 2023s because that's his graduating year will required to be one of two exceptions or he will have to play up at his correct birth year.
Definitely correct me if I'm wrong since I'm out the door on this stuff and not following it closely.
Also, just a little sad to see that there is a demand for 6U PG tournaments. I wish parents would understand the importance of playing local and having fun at that age.
