<p dir="ltr">In other words, if Joseph had elected to return this year as reigning Junior WC rather than as part of the team, we could have sent another Junior this year. Not sure if other Juniors entered the team trials at the 2016 Nats, but assuming some did, one of them could have gone. Joseph's placement this year would have not contributed toward the team championship though.</p>

That was never the case in the 3 prior WCs - the Junior category was added to the WCs in 2011. Also, the Jury can't make a decision for everyone - they can only impact the WC in progress. Now, if a rule change is needed, or a clarification needs to be made going forward, based on the decision of the Jury at a WC (based on a protest), then this type of issue needs to be raised at the F3A Sub-committee level, and once there is agreement there then it should be voted and accepted at the Bureau level. If a clarification is made then it needs to be official and the wording needs to be changed to address it.<br><br></div>BTW, I'm all for increasing the exposure of young people to the sport at the highest level.<br><br></div>-Derek<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Nov 13, 2017 at 12:18 PM, Kevin Young via NSRCA-discussion <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:nsrca-discussion@lists.nsrca.org" target="_blank">nsrca-discussion@lists.nsrca.org</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

<br>
The key words here are "and provided that he will still be a junior pilot when the next World or Continental Championships are held. Also, the first sentence states "participate in the next World or Continental Championships in that category" - the category
is Junior.<br>
<br>
I don't know where the ambiguity comes in.<br>

Derek, according to the jury he can return as an individual if he is over 18 but would not be part of the team. So, could have 5 US entrants but only 4 team members.<br>
