Very interesting rule change. It perhaps is a rule that should have been in place from the start.
However we have a number of F and A’s who did use previous panel photographs in their higher level panel but no-one in future can. This some people might deem unfair especially given the cost associated with printing photographs. Still probably a better rule for the long run.
It does highlight an issue that creeping in is judges who have the qualifications starting to demand higher standards than were applied to them when they were putting forward panels.
This is a danger especially for L Panel candidates. What was good enough for an L-Panel 5 years ago should be good enough for an L Panel today. I would less object to higher standards required for A or F because equipment has improved.
