Need Advice Group combine

I need advice ..if i  need to registered youth athelete group  to be calculated in junior group with same weight class  what should i do

[Jean-François Lamy]

Your requirement is a little bit fuzzy.  So let's look at common scenarios

In IWF, Youth athletes are 13-17, and JR are 15-20.
If in the age groups file you enable both Youth and JR, then by default

- a 13 year-old will be eligible to Youth medals.  The scoreboard will show the athlete's primary age group as YTH
- a 15 year-old will be eligible to both Youth and JR medals  The scoreboard will show the athlete's primary age group as YTH

- a 18 year-old will be eligible to JR medals only.  The scoreboard will show the athlete's primary age group as JR

This would be the normal behavior for a multi-age group championship.

If you want all your Youth to be considered JR, then you have to change the age boundary for JR (make it 13-20 for example).

It is also possible to create "combined" secondary categories.

For example, you could have YTH (0-14) and JR (15-20), and also a combined "U20" which would have the ages 0-20.

By default owlcms will put the athlete in the most specific category first, and then in all the other catgories that fit.

So in this second example,

- a 13 year-old will be eligible to Youth and U20 medals.  The scoreboard will show the athlete's primary age group as YTH
- a 15 year-old will be eligible to both JR and U20 medals.

As a final twist, you could decide that all U20 will get their medals based on Sinclair or Q-Points or Q-Youth.

I assume that you have Youths that are 13-17

Some of them are eligible to win JR 15-20 medals, but not all.

You can control, on the registration page, the eligibility.

By default, the 15-17 will be eligible to both, and you will remove the eligibility manually for those who are not allowed as juniors.

This can also be done explicitly when loading from the spreadsheet

Assuming your age groups are called U17 and U20, in the registration spreadsheet you can use the following for the categories
(you need to use the exact category names that you have configured)

U17 M 71   would be U17 only

U17 M 71;U20 M 71    would be both

U20 M 71     would be U20 only

This is a common situation.
You will have to make both age groups active.  Then in the registration interactive form you adjust if the athlete is eligible for one or both.
(or you specify the categories explicitly in the Excel as I explained in an earlier reply)
