A decision to include junior’s was made by the CIAM F3A Sub-Committee chair in November last year and got the approval of the CIAM committee in early December at the CIAM meeting (which I did not attend). The first I heard about this was the middle of January when we were getting ready to publish the first bulletin for the WCs. This WC will not offer a “Junior” World Champion – there will only be a “highest placing Junior” if there are more than 3 Junior’s competing.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>One other point to consider… there were NO junior’s participating at the Nats in F3A last year (2010).
