Will the proposed specifications
make the Master Hurdler's life grand?

What is our objective?

• Utilize current Age-graded factors to determine when hurdle specs need to be changed.
• Propose specs that allow the Oldest in an age group to be successful in the event.
• Simplify staging the High Hurdles to simplify setup for athlete training.
• Maintain the integrity & fairness of the event, which requires speed, skill and agility.

How do these proposals meet this objective?

With this proposal,

• Common hurdle marks seen on every track are utilized.
• Specs are decreased to match or exceed the percentage of performance-loss due to age

Specifically,

• EXISTING MARKS ON THE TRACK ARE UTILIZED!
• Hurdle placement is simplified substantially
• Confusion is eliminated regarding the starting and finish lines

Justification

• Too few have mastered the high hurdles. It is a customized race for the extreme minority.
• There's no need for oddball distances or spacings that help some but hurt others.
  
• To offer an event that is difficult to stage is to ignore the difficulty encountered by athletes when they train,
  as well as those that officiate and support our sport.

Let's make is simpler!
Let's increase participation!
Let's make the competition better!
