Really disappointed that the FP60 and FP65 weren’t allotted enough spots right from the get go. 4 spots in each?! Was really looking forward to playing this as it’s in my home state. Amateurs playing 60’s and 65’s were allotted more spots right from the beginning. Do you now know why more women don’t play?!
I can't speak to the original space allotments as I was not involved, but as there is only 1 person on a waitlist for those two divisions it looks like they got it pretty close to correct. Hopefully someone will decide to withdraw so you get in.
So what you are saying is even though the pool has open spots they will not be allotted to those in a division with a waitlist because the division has met its cap?
Most of the women who signed up for FP60 normally play FP65 but signed up for FP60 because there were only 4 spots for FP65. That’s not getting the numbers correct

It's a tough call. I've played in over 50 sanctioned events the past 18mo and the MA50/55 division has shrunk considerably. But it could be a mix of what Sherry has highlighted in that if the pool size isn't very big or attractive then players are forced to play in a different divisions than what they want or maybe don't play at all. My mindset would be creating ways that promote expansion not contraction. I also understand there are many perceived limiting and complicating factors to be considered.
