I think this should Be Changed  Accordingly to Updated Rank Requirements. To a Member as Contest entry requirement or if you need Entry to be Jr member those 10 merits should be removed to atleast 1 Merit with 30 activity which is Jr member Rank status , it kind of confusion when you look to updated ranks Requirements.

Rank   Required    Activity  Merit Required                                              
Jr Member             30        1                                              
Member                60        10                                        
                                                          



(To join you need to be at least Jr Member on the forum and have earned a minimum of 10 merits in the last 120 days) 10 Merit is Member Requirement

The requirement means that you should be Member and Not Jr as written it suppose to be clear for anyone to understand
