Using Tommy Cohen as an example he started the year with a 4.22 as his best of two runs, by round six he had his time down to 3.38 and won that round. He also nabbed second in C grade for the champs, getting faster througout the year is called "progressing" some people do it some people bitch about others that do it, each to their own.A bit...are you blind!

Ah the age old sandbagging debate. I'd be interested in hearing what the general consensus on this issue is.

I don't know what the definition of "sandbagging" is, what I do know is that there were a lot of first time adult racers registering for the race last weekend, who had no idea of how fast they would go, and had never done a timed run at Ourimbah. Put yourself in a newbie's shoes, what would you chose to do?Looks like a bit of sandbagging going on in C grade.
Yep.
On a formal note, the CCOMTB committee does not have a policy on forcing people to race in a particular grade, and MTBA does not have either a policy or a rule, other than aged based categories. Juniors and Masters routinely race "up a grade" (Or is that "down a grade for Masters?) to get more competition. Basically, we don't see that allowing seniors a choice of which grade they race is a problem.
