Hi everybody,
I'm not entering the debate on funding (would I dare!) but would be grateful if someone could clarify what is meant by 'age group' in the above discussion (i.e. from the tournament host's point of view when offering free places). Maybe my question is best asked using our three favourite players A B and C. Suppose that in a competition where there are U14 and U16 sections we have players...
A is 13 with ELO 1800
B is 13 with ELO 1750
C is 15 with ELO 1700
My question is: who is the best player in the U16 section? In other words, does U16 really mean everyone under 16 (in which case A is the winner) or, because there is an U14 section, U16 really means 14 and 15 year olds (in which case C is the answer).
Please no-one tell me it is B - my head will explode!
Apologies if this is self evident to everyone else but you should know by now I'm a bit slow...
Wait, I need a smiley, but which is most appropriate...

Cheers,
Keith
