Initial shout actually came from Bon Accord Perce, not John, and if folk want to point fingers I suggested that we check that the SACU didn't have something up their sleeves before we went on a had the first championship round of the year and laid out a lot of money that we'd then have to pay out again if the system was different. Yeah, Bon Accord has hundreds of cards of various colours and yeah maybe it's pointless to change it all but pulling all classes together is a new concept that needs a straightforward method of marking.
Entries are dwindling for everyone therefore to hold a championship meeting that's worthwhile we have to pull all classes together and hope that works. To do that we need clarity on the routes and the only way to do that is specific colours per class or group of classes. The same concept works on the continent and if you look at the SPEA markers in WTC they have the similar concept.
The concept is essentially simple and it also makes it more straightforward for observers
