You are confident that the '19 on day' statement was a misinterpretation of the rules as confirmed to you by the RO (?) , even though it is still a valid condition of entry.
You are conversant with how Rossendale Harriers choose to run their annual mid-week series of races.
You are not interested in contributing to the on-going clarification of published rules, other than posting on this forum.

Seems to leave matters pretty much where they were before you re-opened this thread.
All we've learnt is that TT seems to think it's ok to enter underage even if the RO is at risk of losing his /her license, and worse.
More the case that that was how it was when I was a junior - plenty of the best juniors raced underage week in and out. The organisers knews they were underage, the other races did and their coaches did - it just seemed to be one of those unwritten things that for Auld Lang Syne or Shepherds Skyline etc there'd be juniors who said they were 18.

Being out of fell running now I can't comment on how it is now but 10 years ago there were plenty of kids winning junior championship races on the Saturday and then racing as an 18 year old midweek.

Kids from Rossendale did a lot too.
