<h2>New Structure for 2023</h2>
<p>
    GFL Series is simplifying Divisions and Season Rankings beginning in 2023. Details and some guidance on which Division to enter:
</p>
<ul>
	<li><b>Adaptive</b> 
	<ul>
		<li>Adaptive Divisions are open to any individual competing with a disability.</li>
	</ul>
	</li>
	<li><b>Street and Bowl</b> 
	<ul>
		<li><b>Men’s Beginners</b>
		<ul>
			<li>The general guide for this Division as far as age is 12 and younger, however, skaters over 12 will participate in Intermediate or Open Advanced.</li>
			<li>This Division’s skill level is generally skaters new to contests and have been skating for less than a few years.</li>
			<li>It’s your call to make the decision to move up. It's common for skaters under 12 to choose the Intermediate or Advanced Divisions.</li>


		</ul>
		</li>
		<li><b>Men’s Intermediate</b>
		<ul>
			<li>The general guide for this category as far as age is 13 and older.</li>
			<li>This Division’s skill level is generally skaters that have entered several contests and have been skating for several years.</li>
			<li>You can move up to this division if you’re not 13 yet, but not down/backwards to the Beginners Division.</li>
		</ul>
		</li>
		<li><b>Open Advanced</b>
		<ul>
			<li>This Division’s skill level is at an advanced level regardless of age or gender.</li>
		</ul>
		</li>
		<li><b>Women’s</b>
		<ul>
			<li>Due to slightly lower participation in the Women’s Division, there is only one Division in each discipline that includes all ages and skill levels. As we work to continue to grow Women’s skateboarding, we expect this to change in the future.</li>
		</ul>
		</li>
	</ul>
	</li>
	<li>At each stop for each discipline, currently Street and Bowl/Park, you can enter only one Division.
	</li>
		<li><b>Season Rankings</b>
		<ul>
			<li>In each Division, your best three stops for the year count.</li>
			<li>The final stop of the year in Tampa is worth double points for Seasons Rankings purposes. Placings at the final stop will also be used to break any ties in the Rankings.</li>
			<li>If Season Rankings are important to you, you should decide which Division you prefer at the beginning of the year and skate that one all year long. 
			<ul>
				<li>Age at Awards date is no longer a factor in Season Rankings. </li>
				<li>Only the Division you enter matters.</li>
			</ul>
			</li>
		</ul>
		</li>

</ul>
