they have divided participants into seven basic groups: children,
five to ten years of age of 11 an 15; juvenile, for youths
of 16 and 17 years of age; novices, 18 years and up. Also,
they have introduced a separate category for women and veteran's
category which includes anyone 35 or older.

become a decidable way of speeding time together and enjoying
