Here is my question, how do we verify whether a kid is an 8th grader or freshman the day of a qualifier or anytime thereafter? We have a mechanism for verifying dates of birth but what about grades? Most of us will know the studs in each division and it won't be a problem for them. Instead it will be some kid that nobody has ever heard of, from a school/town that nobody has ever heard of. Then you throw in the homeschooled kids, who's to say what grade they are in?
So we scrap the whole idea because somebody may cheat? The mechanism to check DOB is a birth certificate. (Which is not required by the way). A grade card or school I.D. might be a good start.
