Lets go with NO dan ranks under, lets say 16
ok, someone under 16 tests and gets a Jr BB, it's black with a white stripe down the middle of it.
for every 3 years they train, they can go to the next Jr BB level.
1st Jr BB
2nd Jr BB
etc
now, when they turn 16, take their Jr BB rank, cut it in half, that determines their Dan rank
for example:
1st Jr BB= has to test for 1st Dan
2nd Jr BB=1st Dan, no test
3rd Jr BB= 1st Dan and half way to 2nd Dan
no way you could have a 4th Jr BB, but this way, NO ONE turns 16 as anything higher than 1st Dan, but the kids can progress.
