The Circuit has a softer limit of 6/1 with 3 roster exceptions older than 6/1. .
What's the point of the softer limit? Why not just follow the WSYL model? Why are they still making exceptions for older kids playing down? I guess I just don't understand the logic.
Maybe a compromise for the pre-first summer birthday boys? Either way, 8/31 or 6/1, just set a date and lets be done with it. The 3 exceptions the Circuit did was dense. No exceptions, set a hard date and implement it for the 2023-2024 season to give clubs a little time to shift players to the appropriate team.
