NEW
YORKSHIRE GRADES
The
draft 2010/11 YCA grading list has been released, the list below is only
provisional until finalised but this will give you a good idea of what your
grade will look like.
You
may notice that your 2009 grade is different to the one you used last season,
this is because the Yca realised that they were a few points out on some of
them and have only just amended this. Again, the Yca have used the same method
to calculate these grades as they used last season - This means that they will
probably end up adding 2 points onto all grades before publishing them, well,
this is what I read on the Yca website anyway!
The
digits after the colon just stand for the average number of games played per
season in Yorkshire.
