I've been curious about this.....what was the rationale behind granting
Katlaps' eligibility? It seems that on both age and professional status
(if Major A is professional...which it is...it seems that the Soviet
Elite teams must also be pros) he should be ineligible. How many years
of eligibility does he have?
