    Did anyone get a letter?? I haven't heard of any gradings being done, and last year St George had a big 're-graded list' on the website prior to the first round, so that everyone could check their new grading prior to entering round 1....

    I rang last week and they said grading was complete.
    They only came back last week and apparently had 200+ license renewals in the mail or something. So maybe the grading letters are still coming.

    I tried to get a sneaky clubsport bike a couple of weeks ago. I pulled the pin at $4800. It went for $4900. Looks like 2016 it is for me. Mine is 01/10

    It's a pretty archaic system, isn't it..... everyone sitting at the mailbox, waiting for a letter to arrive - or not. If everyone got a letter each year, that would be one thing; if you didn't receive a letter, you knew it went missing in transit. But if it's only some people (and it's at a random time each year), who knows whether you are regraded or whether the postal system was lazy/incompetent and lost or misplaced or misdelivered your letter.

    A list on the website, and an email to licence holders telling them when the list had been published, would make much more sense in this day and age. Quicker, cheaper and much more reliable. Or am I wrong?

    Grading for this years racing :)

    I think it was Rick that had a email from MA saying after 3 races in D grade you automatically go up to C.

    Some people stay 2 years in D (like McCarthy) and some people go up to C after 1 race (Little Mick)

    it makes no sense how they actually work out their magic formula.. (maybe its just a lucky dip)

    Im in C this year because I called up not waiting for the magical letter

    grading thread redux!
    do a burnout

  38. #38
    Following the last St George meeting I attended, where the club said "grading nothing to do with us, speak to MNSW". I emailed MNSW twice asking for information regarding the grading process. I have never received a reply to either email. MNSW's lack of consultation and explanation regarding grading with and for those involved is simply atrocious. They only have themselves to blame for people referring to 'their system' as a lucky dip, they provide no explanation or transparency.

    I'd actually hold this up as an 'anti pattern' with regard to how NOT to do grading. In my opinion there should be a checklist that is ticked and then an explanation of the marking scheme that results in a specific grade. For the sake of transparency everyone should be able to see 'the working out', not just the final magic answer, both for themselves and others.

    The fact this comes out a week before St George rnds 1 & 2 is yet another example of how poor the admin is ... anyone that's changed grade now has to contact St George and modify their entry ... it's pathetic and incompetent.

    Well done Dan?

    I think Marshy is well versed in the lucky dip/pull a name out of a hat draw that is MNSW grading...

    But just think, even if they get 50% wrong they've still got 50% right. Glass half full approach

    Forget which state, but one state MA body actually does publish a gradings list on their website (found it when I was searching online for ours a couple of weeks back before I put in my st george entry).

    In this day and age there isn't really an excuse. And if privacy is a concern (really can't see how it would be) then it could be displayed by club membership #.

    I'm writing the letter for you now. How he feels it's unfair you're best mates and want to continue to race together. How he's only got a stock motor and everyone else has got cams and head work. He wants to be B just like you and JC.
