Elmo joins the Grand Master ranks, and raises a question in my mind.

When changing age categories, what happens to your rankings???
Seems unfair to carry a younger person's results into an older bracket.
But it also seems unfair to have to start again from scratch????

(not going to affect me, I'm in the oldest category already, unless Herb gets his way and another one is added after 70)

* Proper setting of age division (I haven't forgotten you Tim!)



Yes it's on the agenda for the big rewrite. Once you put your birthday in, the age division will automatically update. Your results for previous age divisions will still stand.

I thought it would work like that. I've noticed that when sailors jump to another team, their previous sessions stay with the old team. Would have thought the age divisions would work like that too.

So does that mean you'll appear in 2 age divisions, one with the old data, and the other a fresh slate ready to start recording.
Or will you have data from the previous division carried into the new?
That could be a bit unfair.

You'll appear in two divisions.

For example, Tim Stockton set some ripper numbers in the junior division, they should stand, while new PB's should go into the open section.

Cool dude, no stress, I can keep my youthful red fur on a bit longer

Still thunk it's a tad optimistic calling me a Grand Master anyway

You could use the underline and colour function.

Ben, I just tried to check the age divisions and it's still not done yet? Do you have a time line for this?

Geez Elmo, You are almost still just a pup. Somehow I pictured you as older. Maybe its all the fur.... Maybe its just the wisdom that springs from your posts? Whatever it is..... Happy Birthday! And welcome to the most venerable order of the Grand Masters!!

The older I get, the better I was!
