It also puts quite a restriction on teams who don't get students for 3-4 years. 190 (Junior/Senior high school only) and 1717 (Seniors only team, IIRC) come to mind. For 190, they can only nominate Juniors, which are on their first year on the team. 1717 is all seniors, so they can never nominate anyone.
I understand the rationale, and I'm all for strongly encouraging Sophomore and Junior nominations, but making it a hard rule seems a little ignorant of the fact that not all teams are in a position where a Sophomore/Junior nomination makes sense, or is even possible.
