I know of one ladies team not getting a place. shocking to have a measly 6% of entries attributed to ladies teams.
Aye, but that's what happens when its by favouritism or selection.
Mates rates.:-(
Proportion of females 21%, males 79% in the team list. Without knowing the proportions on the entry forms it is not fair to talk about favouritism. Perhaps women have more sense than men when choosing an event to enter?:p
Team i was in didn't get in so doing Transgrancarnia,blessing in disguise. Don't think there's any man eating bogs there ha ha
Not strictly comparable, but the % of female members in the FRA is 20% (and 80% males for those who struggle with numbers;)).Quote:
