Victoria are now running u11, 13, 15,17 etc
and bendigo tournament ran the american style 11 & under, 12 & under, 13 & under etc
so if I was a second year u16 now - i would be allowed to play in 15 & under
what do you think?
Victoria DOMESTIC are running U11,U13, U15 etc. Not the championship stuff.

yes correct - but you may find they are mixing it up quite a bit - depending on what competition

Actually, Victoria Country are running U13, 15 etc officially for all their championships. They do not run U11.
Most of the Vic Country domestic associations are running this way as well.
The change was not implemented for Championship, it was implemented for the benefits it brings at domestic.
Those benefits in summary are:
* kids can play effectively another year of juniors at U19 which is a motivator for keeping girls in particular in the sport at this grouping.
*you get a slightly better grouping of kids domestically at U10's and U12's level
Our age groups are decided by FIBA. If you are able to get FIBA to change them for their Junior World Championships, sure go right ahead. But really what good would changing the age groups be.
