For Parents British Gymnastics Grades / Levels

[HopefulParent]

Hi there - Have a general query on the BG compulsory grades / levels pathway. I understand there is no longer in age / out of age. Not sure if this is temporary or has it always been like this? It seems somewhat unfair for those who are “in age” so competing against so many older gymnasts who have been training much longer, are more experienced than and may be doing longer training hours? Any thoughts on this? Is there any advantage of being in age rather than out of age? Thanks
