Discretion of selectors then again is much more sensible. Got to give them some credit for having some idea of who's got some ability!! and some idea of how to get the playing strength up without having to use too much of the stick.
You can base it on previous years. Variation in this is not going to change too much. The reason I prefer 7/10ths to Andrew's one, is purely because grade and age is not a linear relationship, it is parabolic. The again, as you say discretion has to be used. Give or take 50 around that limit is fine.
