So the SCUFC 99B Elite played up into U17 and won the league. My reading of the rules says a team plays state cup at the same age that they played league.
11. TEAM ELIGIBILITY
To be eligible for the Publix Bob Brantley State Cup, a team must be comprised of properly registered and rostered youth players and the team and its affiliate organization shall be in good standing with SC Youth Soccer. Any team having forfeited two (2) or more league games during the current cup season shall be reviewed by the SC Youth Soccer Board of Directors and may be deemed ineligible for play in the Publix Bob Brantley State Cup. A team shall compete in the Region III Sub Region Premier League, the Region III Premier League or the South Carolina State Challenge League to be eligible for the Publix Bob Brantley State Cup. The team shall play in the same age group at the Publix Bob Brantley State Cup as it played in league play with the exception of U14 teams. All challenge teams (U13-U19) that can have a maximum of 22 players must demonstrate continuity of rosters between the league and National Championships competitions by maintaining a minimum of 9 players common to the roster of both competitions. State Select/ODP Teams may not compete.
Currently, they are listed as one of the accepted teams in the U16 division. Will this change?
