Moose, you are a cynic. The tables haven't been skewed, as they came before the classifications!
And, MK1, the point is that gents are not the same as ladies. The problem - one of perception - arises because the Metric rounds are only
GNAS rounds, and applicable to
GNAS age groups, while the Cadet FITA is a FITA round, applicable to FITA age groups. The Metric II is not a Cadet FITA. (They pinched the idea for the round from us!)
