Need your opinion

The board ruled. (And incidentally, they were correct.) One thing that has come up to our board on several occasions is whether or not to allow kids to play up. The decision is always sound - in house league, the kids don't play up. The divisions are primarily age based. Travel is a different story...there's a reason they call them "Age-X and UNDER" leagues, but I still disagree in principle.

Nonetheless, I would concur with the first and second punishments offered by the original poster. Forfeiture seems somewhat over-the-top, since I would say it is not the team's fault that he cheated, and it is quite impossible to guess outcome without him.
