Trying to Clarify what age Cat my son should be racing downhill. He is currently 11 and 12 in August (10th).
this is what B.C say:-
[b]U12 Downhill – Riders taking part in Short Course or Mini Downhill events can compete in their 10th, 11th and 12th year.
Juvenile - To qualify for the Juvenile category, a rider must be in the year of their 13th or 14th birthday.[/b]
The way I see this is that he is in his 12th Year and should race U12 until August and then he is in limbo until 1st January when he will be in the year of his 13th Birthday.
He is taking part in a race series that has five rounds, 3 of which are before his birthday and 2 of which are after. So he either does 3 as an under 12 and the other 2 as a Juvenille or should he finish the series in U12??
any thoughts please??
You don't change mid year - hence the reference to "your 12th year", it means full years. He's U12 this year, then juvenile next year.
