In reply to Paul Twomey:
hi guys, the reason we changed the schedule of rounds is due to the fact that in the Dec open youth events we have always made the competitors compete in the categories they will compete in the following year, to allow the selection committee to make their selection for the next years team, comparing climbers in the same categories etc.
We realised that if we started the series in may next year, then the competitors would all jump up a category 2/3rds of the way through the series, which obviously would not work, so we had to bring it forward to start the series in December not May.
Let me know if anyone has any questions.
Cheers
Rob Adie
