What is the meaning of "A" Grade and "A Group" in Traditional Wushu Competition? Is it the hardest or the easiest?What does Grade A, Group A mean respectively?

In youth wushu competitions, they are usually divided by age groups.

Taking the 2013 Sichuan Provincial Youth Wushu Circuit Championships as an example:

Divided into two major groups, A and B. Among them:

There are three groups, A, B and C, under Group A. Group B is divided into A and B, which corresponds to different age groups

Group A:

1.Group A: Born before December 31, 1996 (The group that is already over-age in the youth competition)

2. Group B: Born between 1997 and 1998. (Generally the most powerful group, the other groups in descending order)

3. Group C: Born between 1999 and 2000.

Group B:

1. Group A: born between 2001 and 2002.

2. Group B: Born between January 1, 2003 and later.

Relatively speaking, the group close to the upper age limit is the most powerful, thinking that older age often means longer training time and better physical development, so it is more advantageous, and the younger age group can challenge the older age group when competing, but not vice versa.

Also, there are differences in the groupings at the provincial games.

Overall, it's generally divided by age groups.
