Wouldn’t this would still happen if you used ballast? People would hold back knowing they don’t want the extra weight in a final? Or are we saying that the winner from the week before would have to carry the ballast for the whole of the next meeting?

We could award extra points to qualifying positions to stop people holding back if ballast or reversed guide was used. I.e. the fastest person get 10 extra points, second 9 and so on. Or is this what we do already- I cant remember
