One of the reason younger girls are supposed to be banned is that kids are not meant to be under such pressure, but they also have the advantage of having a VERY flexible child's body.
This is one of those rare cases where being a younger child is a major advantage physically if they can mentally hold it together.

I don't see how the world keeps a blind eye on these girls being 13-14 and the cheating allowing them to compete.

Also, the smaller girls really have an advantage on floor over bigger girls. Two of our girls stepped out of bounds last night. Unless they really screw up, the smaller girls have a much smaller chance of stepping out.
