Ken, thanks for the reply. I understand the IBO's position. My intention was never to see inflated scores in FBH. Merely to see, if possible, that there might be some way to allow the kids that are not ready for Cubs, to shoot where they would be more comfortable. It seems there is. I was not aware of the open attitude re: age in FBH. I think this is a very good policy. Since my hope in posting this was to see if I was alone in feeling this way, I won't address your other concerns here. Though you have many valid points. Thanks to those of you who replied to this, also.
BTW, I fully understand your remarks re: parent's egos. Where I live, the girl's softball league had to issue orders refraining parents from cheering. There were physical altercations in the bleachers. Unbelievable!!
