Perhaps we need both options for a while. For now, I can only encourage people to make sure that they have read and understand the Guidelines. Encourage your planners to go on a training course and read the various books available on the subject. Talk to some of the junior competitors, or follow them round a course. Getting a senior course wrong ends up with it too easy.
People complain, but they get round.
Getting a junior course wrong makes it too hard, and people don't get round. Instead they just give up orienteering. We can't afford this. Please make sure all your courses, but the junior ones in particular, meet the Guidelines. Once you've got the courses of the correct standard, there are still several things you can do to make life easy for the youngest competitors.
