In response to:"Still, that is not what the Rule Books demands.  Nor 
does it make any sense that a person who rides as a Junior, with 
sponsor, be considered a Senior. "

AERC allows an unsponsored Junior to ride as  senior with a letter from 
the office.  There's no qualifications on this.

AERC also allows a ride manager's local judgment in matters of safety to 
require a sponsor.  I think Tevis is a tough ride and agree that the 
sponsor requirement is certainly useful even with a unsponsored letter.

I also agree that requiring an unsponsored junior to ride only at the 
pace of the sponsor is a handicap in the senior placings but not 
everything is fair in life.  There are very few RM in other than rides 
like Tevis who require a sponsor when there's a letter.

Overall I think it has little effect but I appreciate your point of view 
on this.
