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?
I'm not concerned about the % of females on the entry list in total, I can see that there are a good number of mixed teams. it's more to do with the fact that an all ladies team has been excluded which seems such a shame
