We reverted to the prior year's age distribution, and added the adults back - our primary reason for removing them last year was to enable the adults to do the slow speeds, and to increase the numbers within a competition. There was a problem - while your card said "7" - it wasn't accurate. I'm not sure how they divvied the u18 and 18+ numbers, but here are the numbers - PLEASE read through to the end of the post before flaming me/the feis:
[The ages are simply subtracting the year of birth from 2011 - because I didn't have the patience to calculate Feis Age for each dancer.]
The 18+ groups have asterisks...because you'll notice the majority of those dancers are not 18+! There were 5 18+ dancers.
If the "and over" groups are large and/or have a decent age spread, we (the committee) will discuss splitting the groups. We do our best, but it's not easy to please everyone at once.
New for this year is the Adult Champ Special! It seems to have been well-received and enjoyed by adults at other feisanna, so we figured we'd give it a go!
