I dont agree with ditching 3rd grade, but think it needs to be consistent across all levels. Where ever a step up a grade is contingent on finding another grade, there is going to be issues. Also not real good for clubs like charlestown, get relegated and have to cut loose a grade. They aren't coming back if they managed promotion this season.

I actually think 3rd grade needs a tweak to require a certain level of youth development, but that wont happen.
