Sigh May 2020 5:15pm, 9 May 2020 6,217 posts	Quote Pin Sigh Has anyone else seen their race standards revised? This was mine back on 9th March: ...and here's the same today: It's not a change because of my birthday as that's February, plus that would mean they went up not down - plus, previous years (2017-2019) have also been revised. I have sent feedback to Fetch, but thought I'd post here too in case anyone has a clue.

Weath May 2020 5:30pm, 9 May 2020 386 posts	Quote Pin Weath There are set baseline 'factors' from which WAVA values are calculated and these are continually under review by the World Masters Athletic Association, with updated tables released occasionally. ISTR that the figures/bands on FE have been derived from the 2012 tables which have since been superseded. The change may be due to Lord Fetch implementing the newer tables behind the scenes.

Fizz :-) May 2020 5:50pm, 9 May 2020 3,768 posts	Quote Pin Fizz :-) I know. I had 62% in 2018 that’s just gone down to 60. 2019 unchanged, haven’t checked the others as I don’t have a screenshot.

Every time you see a drop in your age grading scores, just remember it’s because veteran athletes are still pushing back the boundaries of possibility. You can too. runs away
