As for regionals, most get into it as cheap as possible initially (as running a club, if you start talking about lists etc, eyes glaze over and they no longer are interested), so the barrier then becomes wanting to do their clubs regional but not wanting to because stupidly their club gear isn't good enough (not due to performance either). Which is my issue with the EB list, not the list in general, just the level it is applied to, as at regional we don't have to have scrutineering, referee's etc.

That is my issue also. Keep the list for the nationals and international events by all means. But for everyone else it is totally unnecessary.
