 * Hello Conor,
 * Great work with the shortcodes, they have made life much much easier!
 * I’ve been putting the plugin together for a school rankings system however we’ve
   encountered some issues with the age groups.
    We have for example Age 5, Age 
   6 and Age 7 as different groups but when setting them up as Age 5, I would like
   to put athletes who are only 5 years old however the site will only accept age
   gaps of say ‘age 5 to 6’. If I am to do this, it then won’t allow me to set up
   an age group of Age 6 because they would need to be ‘age 6 to 7’ thus causing
   an overlap.
 * What would be good was if on the age categories I was able to change from an 
   age range to a specific age. This would then allow me to select a single age 
   for that category. So anybody only ‘5 years old’ would fall in to the Age 5 group
   and anybody only 6 years old would fall into the Age 6 group.
 * I hope this makes sense? I really do hope you can implement this feature as it
   would really improve a fantastic plugin.
 * Many thanks.
    Ryan
