Evidence of OPDP clubs playing their weaker teams in stronger divisions

The following screenshots show the U9 to U12 teams in the ERSL as of April 28, 2017, the day after the OPDP supposedly closed.

In the past, the ERSL typically had three divisions per gender and age. As of April 28, there was only T3 for Boys U11 and U12, each with four teams, but those teams were moved to T2 divisions before the season started, meaning that the ERSL only has T1 and T2 divisions in 2017.

OPDP clubs moved their teams up a division to account for the fact that their T1 teams were now in the OPDP. Examples of this have been highlighted below. Some non-OPDP clubs also moved their T2 teams up a division, but those that didn't have generally experienced weaker competition than expected.
