Having been in discussion with Ian Roberts, Chair of the TD Forum, it has come to light that I made a mistake in my below email sent to you a few weeks ago. For ‘Calendar Races’ i.e. seeded races such as Twin Peaks, GBR Indoor, Scottish Indoor etc, U8 competitors are not permitted to race in the U10 category of the minis race run alongside the seeded race. I have amended the age categories below so that U10 category is for those born 2006-2007.
Those in the U8 category will be permitted to race in the minis races run alongside club events and club championships or any race that isn’t a ‘Calendar Race’. I have copied below a section from the email from Ian Roberts:
607 Age Limits
607.1 The Calendar Period is March 1st – November 30th. In order to compete, a competitor must have been born within the calendar years defined annually by FIS. However, FIS does not legislate below U14 so the British specification for the current season is at http://www.britski.org/agegroups2015s.pdf
Thus, those born in 2008 and after may not compete in a ‘Calendar Race'.
Sorry for any inconvenience that this may cause, mistake on my part in the original email. If you have any questions don’t hesitate to get back to me.
Many thanks,
Graham
