As others have seen, there seems to be no way to get this to function with the available options. Players are either sitting out, or attending a 5th year of high school.
Not sure how much difference missing 1 of a possible 7 or 8 years in feeders will make, not sure it throws the whole thing off. but it still shouldn't happen. I'm thinking the problem is the the date that is used to determine the age and thus eligibility for the draft and the feeder leagues. Seems it would have to be the same date but I think they are currently based on the start of the event (feeder league season or draft).
