Why would you throw out the fastest times?It made my quick math easier, ha.
Wouldn't you want some percentile of all finishers, for each age and gender? Take the 10th percentile from each, etc.

Revising the qualifying standards makes no sense. If the 1900 people who were excluded could have run 1:03 faster, don't you think they would have? If you toughen the standards, the same number of people are going to get excluded - either they won't qualify or, if they run faster and do qualify, they'll still have too many people who meet the new standard and they'll have to exclude a certain unumber of qualifiers. IMHO, what they should do is accept everyone who meets the qualifying standards on the day registration opens and then set the number of charity slots based on the number of remaining slots.
x1. Would love to see your idea implemented. There's no reason for 20% of next years field to be made up of charity runners. 10% is plenty IMO.
