RATIONALE: The high threshold for split rings put newer judges under extreme pressure that is counter- productive and demoralizing. However, we do not want to discourage clubs from supporting newer judges so we are lowering the threshold, but making it clear that they can compensate by making two smaller rings that should not take much more space than a 16 opening ring when the rings are split.
