i know the age up date for meters is 12/31 of the given year.
has it always been that way?
(mostly i need to know if in 1997 the age up date would have been 12/31/97 or the date of the meet...)
thanks!
Glenn,
I'm kinda with you here... My birthday is the end of August, so I get shafted for LCM. I am always a year younger than my LCM age - in '05, i was 24 and competing against 29 year olds. Even though I'd still not be "the right age," I'd be more in favor of LCM age by the end of the season, since it ends way before the end of the year.
However, for record-keeping, i can see how one standard age is beneficial.
