I think I am most shocked by the change in division by years. It passed to move Tinys to 6 and under Minis to 9 and under, Youth 12 and under, Juniors 15 and under. I don't remember anyone discussing this here on the boards when the rule was submitted, but I could be wrong. What do you think will happen long term because of this (if it does not get overturned)?
The biggest thing that jumped out to me:
Youth kids (age 12) can now be on youth and go to Worlds (senior is 12-19) so this overlaps again.
Junior teams can have 16 year olds on them (15 and under turning 16 throughout the year), or 6 year olds!!
I SO picked up on this the moment I read it. I don't think a lot of people who voted thought out the whole process. Some of this is ridiculous - not people's opinions, but the actual questions and votes. SO. Eliminate Mini 3, but raise the age to 9?
Eliminate Youth 5 - won't those kids go to a Junior team??? Crossovers restricted for a Small gym??? - that is certain death for some small gyms.
