There has been some discussion about this in the past I know but looking at the IDE break downs I think they should change them up.
We all know the only practical level to get to is 57. 58 is doable, SUMMIT proved that, 59.... $260billion, you could do it if you spent... a lot, and had no hitters that session, and rarely lost IM's and and and lol.
So here is the current breakdown
1-20 = 20 levels
21-30 = 10 levels
31+ = 26 levels
Doesn't make sense to me. The majority of people that actually race and aren't in a top crew end up in the last bracket but are no where near 57 in level, meaning generally only one or two people can compete for those medals and most of the other people that race hard are left in the cold for these medals.
If we change the brackets to:
1-20 = 20 levels
21-40 = 20 levels
41+ = 16 levels
This makes a lot more sense in the general scheme of things. The top IDE each session is still only going to have one or two competitors, but the middle bracket would be more tightly contested IMO. There should be at least a dozen or more people in spitting range of 41 without quitting at 30 simply to fight for the IDE
Thoughts?
