So FW is, as Kat says below, an "open" division. Anyone can compete as a FW as long as s/he cares to forfeit the theoretical advantage to lighter weight riders.Semantics. I used the terminology of 8.5.2.4 and 8.5.2.5 below. Another way this whole set could be worded and mean the same thing would be: Also please note that I put "maximum" in quotation marks, due to it not being a true maximum according to 8.5.2.5. 8.5.2.4 Featherweight, consisting of riders whose combined body weight and tack is 160 pounds or below. 8.5.2.5 For a rider to stay within a weight division he/she must meet the minimum requirement but need not stay under the maximum parameter. -- Joe Long jlong@xxxxxxxx http://www.rnbw.com =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
