PG Tournament Eligibility Question

Only if the senior has reclassified as an underclassman.

 

The World championship in Jupiter is for HS age players. 

 

The rule directly from the PG site is no seniors in the underclass, and in the world championships it is for high school enrolled players only.

 

PG doesn't specify ages for these events, just the above.

 

I don't see that a reputable team would knowingly break those rules. Very hard to get away with, and surely the result of getting caught would not be enjoyable.  I don't doubt PG would swing the banhammer down on cheaters.

 

EDIT: I see PGStaff got here while I was typing... 

Appreciate that info, really helps

Are the 18u tourneys HS only or can college freshmen/softmores play?

Im simply asking because i have a son who enjoys the comoetition in these tourneys but got a late start participating and was always a young HS and now a young college player.

I suggest you email staff@perfectgame.org

tell them your exact situation.

 

Some of our tournaments are 18u or that class year (either/or). So technically a college player could be eligible. There are players in some collegiate leagues that are just out of HS.

 

The one thing I would check on first, is if there are any NCAA or college rules that disallow playing in those type events.  I don't think there are any, but I really don't know for sure.

5tools, if you'll send me a PM or an e-mail to rick@informedathlete.com and tell me what college level your son is playing at (I don't need to know specifically which school), I can let you know whether he would be jeopardizing college eligibility if he plays in one of these events.
