The problem is most RO/marshall do not enforce beyond the occasional disq.

Edale Skyline RO shows no such compulsion. He's quite clear on the matter just read the race registration notes. you flaunt the rules you will be disq, reported and banned from all future races. Kit check is thorough(every one).

Interested to know what people think about sample kitchecks at start line. 5%,10%,20% how many? do you do.
Rubbish (sorry Ian nothing personal) the FRA has shied away from punishing under age junior runners in senior races for years. That was all discussed in the other not quite as long-winded thread when we had the junior age group changes.
I saw juniors in races sometimes 3 years below the ROs age limit and I'm almost 100% certain that the parent or guardian that entered those kids put a false DOB on there.
The FRA didn't want to penalise juniors.
They should have barred the club for 3 months from all races - oh hang on perhaps the worst offending clubs were those with very high profile committee members.

OK they deal with the odd kit infringement, or senior running with someone else's number, but they have had a pick-and-mix approach to discipline which doesn't help their credibility.
