Morning Robin. Thanks for this - glad you enjoyed it.
We used exactly the same grading bands as last year when the numbers were (Open first) 41, 36, 34, 40 which I would say is as even as you could hope for with a misty crystal ball. So naturally we assumed we would get a similar balance this time, but ... You can't win 'em all. And of course you know what would happen if we changed the levels - Sod's Law would overpopulate the Challengers.
Still, in both years the Open has been a tad fuller than the others so it's something to think about. And we will.
