David Spence has the greatest improvement (92 points) but he was a little lad in shorts back then.   Second is John Peters with +52 (also a Junior in 1991).   The best improvement by an adult is Michael Clapham (+41).

Congratulations to Hugo Brown and Adam Harvey, whose grades are exactly the same!   19 players have improved, whilst 14 have declined.   The average change across all 35 players is +6 points.

Apologies if anyone has been inadvertently omitted.

  1. Don't forget the grades got hiked up a few years back. They increased by a fair amount below an certain level.
    TL

  2. Yes Tim, but that was supposed to put the grades back to the level they were 25 years ago. The re-grading dealt with grade deflation over the years. So I think the comparison is fair.
