New weight classes

[jypoll]

What does everyone think about the IPF changing all the weight classes?

[jypoll]

Yea I agree. It's good for me now cuz I'm 94kg so I only have to drop to 93kg but when I compete in open in 2 years I'm gonna have to gain 25 lbs to reach the next class which will take a while.
