WML West Midlands League This competition takes place over ten nominated colour-coded events organised by WMOA clubs during the course of a calendar year. It is an INDIVIDUAL competition for each of the 32 BOF age classes and a CLUB competition based on the best 15 individual club members' scores in a prescribed range of classes. The competition is open to all members of WMOA open or closed clubs who do not compete for other clubs in major or national events. Each competitor must run in one of their designated classes.
