I just think it'd be like having in the Winter Olympics different hockey tournaments for left handed shooters and right handed shooters. Then different timed events between them, one for 20min games, another for 40min, and another for 60. So now you have 6 different gold medals essentially for one sport. I know that's not a perfect comparison, but it's kinda what it feels like.
For the record, I'm not wanting events pulled. I'm just saying for the purpose of this thread, if you HAD to pull X number of events out, it'd be in these types of events I'd look first.
