The president of our Association wants to hold National Qualifiers one year ahead of time in order to give qualifying teams more time to raise money to attend Nationals. Example: playing a NQ in 2011 for a 2012 Nationals. This president insists that "last year players" in 2011 should be able to take part in these NQ even though they will be too old to compete at the 2012 National they are trying to qualify their team for. Would this even be legal in any National Organization?
