Unfortunately ignorance/niavity isn't a defence, it's pretty clear in the rules that borrowed players can only play in the lowest grade.
What is perplexing is that one of the borrowed players started first grade so it must have been pre planned.
It's perplexing because you guys most certainly have the depth in reserve grade to call apon them before going to All Age guys to start in first grade.
I truly believe you that it was an honest mistake and that you guy's meant no foul but the rules are the rules.
