NDHSAA has rules regarding all star game. 180 day ineligible for playing in an all-star game. That is why you see these "senior" all star games played during the summer. 180 days doesn't matter anymore.
"Students who have participated in athletics representing a member school and who have
not yet graduated from high school shall not compete on an "all-star" team, or in an "allstar"
game, contest, or meet during the school year in sports sponsored by the Association.
An "all-star" team includes, but is not limited to, the Shrine All-Star Football Teams, the
Lions All-Star Basketball Teams, and the Optimists All-Star Volleyball Teams. Violation
of this regulation shall result in loss of eligibility of the student for a period of one year from
the date of the last violation. Nothing in this regulation shall prohibit any student from
participating as an unattached individual or as a member of a non-school team in these
sports during the off-season for that sport in the school term, providing the contest is not
“all-star" in character. (Jan. 2008)"
This is interesting. I wonder if schools could apply for a waiver??
