Is this bylaw still the same?

Sec. 1) LIMIT OF FOUR YEARS
A student promoted from grade eight (8) to grade nine (9) shall
have four (4) consecutive calendar years of eligibility from the date
of first promotion by the school provided the student is eligible
according to this and all other Association bylaws. The eligibility
shall conclude with the completion of the spring sports season
following the fourth year. No additional eligibility may be granted
in a case where the grant would allow a student to compete in all
or part of the fifth competitive season in a single sport following
the initial promotion by the school from grade eight (8).

If so, some teams in the West take advantage of this by holding back after completing their 8th grade year and then transferring.
