One player of Scholes' caliber could significantly change the course of the USMNT for a decade.
I don't condone cheating or deliberately bending the rules for chasing results, but the system has merit and long term benefits.

Does anyone know if this methodology will be applied to other leagues like ECNL, NPL, etc.? Or is this just a DA thing?

So DA is moving to school year when other leagues moved out of school year to be comparable to DA?

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostThey are not switching to school year. This is just hand-wringing due to the inevitable situation of clubs taking advantage of the rule allowing smaller/younger kids to play down. The rule is well intended, both here and in Europe. It is also abused, both here and in Europe. I don't get why parents are upset about it. Worst case, your kid loses a game that the "would have won" were it not for the ringer. Best case, your kid was challenged with tougher competition. Stop being so obsessed with game results.
