                                   YORKSHIRE GRADES.

Note that Yorkshire runs its own grading system and has done so for many years. Sheffield League fixtures form most of the club members' competitive games and are graded under this system.

Yorkshire are revising their grades, along ECF lines; so in brackets are what the grades would be under the new system. The revision is to take account of deflation in the system: i.e. it takes your grade back to what it would have been had the system not gone a little awry. Note that the revision isn't a comment on whether the general standard of play has gone up or down: those who wish can argue about that as before.
