I understand what you say about numbers but I do think that there is merit in looking at 4 possible groupings, less than 14, 14-16, 16-18 & 18+. This would definitely help riders want to look at the group above and I think you would be surprised how the groups would fill up. The top band i.e. Fast or elite would still be the one that would have the fewest numbers and if they so wished could join up with the 16-18 if short of numbers.
Difficult one for the committee but I believe you will find the right answer....
