Reply to comment by Anachronism-- in [OC] Birth months of FIFA World Cup players. The top three are January, February and March, possibly due to the "Relative age effect" by desfirsit
It would be easy to enough to adjust for birth year. Instead of just birth month, it would be number of months older than the minimum.
For instance, someone who turns 17 on Sep 1 of their senior year (12th grade) would be considered "0 months" old. The typical range would be 0-12 months if everyone was born in that year, but someone who was held back and turned 18 two months before their senior year started would be "14 months". Your range might be as much as 0-24 instead of 0-12.

I listened to it a while ago but that sounds similar to what he ended up doing.
