What is the problem with the current proposals? Is it just that with an open/masters split there are insufficient categories? If it is then all that needs to happen is to sub divide further and either race two categories together - or have more races! With two days racing booked, a multi-lane course and, the last time I looked, about 1-200 participants there should be plenty of time to have lots of races. So the first alternative is not needed because it is basically the same as the current proposals but without everyone racing twice - which should in fact be possible. As noted, the second alternative doesn't work because it allows gamesmanship/medal hunting and to my mind, the third alternative - averaging times - seems an unhappy mash up between a head race and a regatta. So l suggest sticking with the current proposals but with perhaps a few more categories?
