Anon weight is something that's a choice- height is something you don't get to control so they're a bit different.
Like I said, some people play well regardless of their height but get overlooked for being too short and can have more talent than people that are taller than them- hardly their fault if they didn't choose their height.
They're hardly advocating having a separate comp for people of different weight, eye colour, hair colour, etc- just recognising that shorter players have talent too and don't (or shouldn't) have to be giants to play the game.
Personally I'm 6'5" so it doesn't apply to me, but I'm all for it.
I've played with guys who are under 6ft and have serious game compared to other guys I've played with who are taller and nowhere near as talented but picked moreso for their presence on court.
I hope it takes off in more than just Perth and would be interesting to see if it takes off.
