[QUOTE=TheGrump;501584It just seems to tidy up the rules for juniors in senior races.
What is the/your problem?[/QUOTE]
Part of email from me to FRA Committee Member involved with this rule change :-
This rule amendment seems to have been made with the senior races in mind So we are messing with the junior side, to sort out a problem that is senior race related.
which is what you think is the reason for the change and is how it has been portrayed.
His reply
This is not correct. The amendment has been proposed with the interests of juniors in mind. It would allow all juniors to start competing in a new age group at exactly the same chronological age, which is fairer than the present situation. it would remove contradictions in the rules and give each junior exactly two years in the lowest and highest junior age groups.
Perhaps you don't think it's cause for concern, but you clearly think this is to sort out a problem related to juniors in senior races, but the FRA sub group that brought this forward see it differently.
They have brought a proposal forward to re-align age groups. When it wasn't received very well by those consulted they have dressed it up as something else.
The information put out by the FRA on this has been inconsistant, misleading, confusing and contradictory.
