[Racing Snake]

Just to clear thing up a little here there were 3 people who had managed to compete without having a BRCA membership.

As you already know Bryan was one of them the others i'm not at liberty to give their names.

I hope i'm correct in saying this but Bryan technically you are not loosing you F grading but seeing as you had no BRCA Licence last year then the SORC committee had to be seen to act. However because there is fault on both the SORC for not checking BRCA membership & also the racers in question then we could only do the following, as a fair compromise:

1. Competitors don't loose there 2011 result & hence F grade
2. Competitors who didn't have a BRCA licence during 2011 will be demoted to heat 1 (or the lowest heat) for round 1 of the 2012 season (after round 1 seeding is done on championship position)

With the above in mind & with regards to Bryan specifically he should still manage to qualify well from heat 1 & so be in a much higher heat at round 2 of the championship.

This was deemed to be the only fair solution with both sides having fault in this matter.

Hope this helps
