In fact one of the greatest criticisms of the scheme in the UK was that there was no proof at all - it was just one persons "idea".
Don't get me wrong, I love the modified equipment, but I don't like the mandate we have dictating what age can play what "colour" competition. Biological age should dictate, not chronological age.
Otherwise, well said!
