DD is playing 10U TB for the first time this fall. I am still trying to get used to watching from the sidelines rather than coaching. We had a tournament this past weekend and in game 1 faced a team of highly skilled giants. Everyone was asking the same question as we were getting pummeled. Are these girls really 10 years old? Apparently, no. When seeding for day 2 was posted on Saturday night, that team was no longer present. I asked our coaches about it the next day and was told that they were an 11U team. Not really sure if they were asked to leave, or if their coach took the high road and pulled out. Regardless, the tournament rules clearly state the age requirements but do not make it clear what happens if you violate that rule.
What is the protocol? I would think that the games they played should be considered forfeits and the opposing teams should be awarded a 7-0 victory. What actually happened is that the games counted and teams were seeded accordingly. First tie-breaker was runs against.
