For junior racing we have had a "paraffin series" for years, and it's a great idea. For major events we've talked about standardizing the wax; athletes submit their skis and the wax techs would prep them all equally with the same applications. I hope it happens. When it does, it just means ski selection will be the important part of the process though.
For juniors in Norway they have tried this setup for a while to reduce the glider/ wax arms race as the cost is getting astronomical even at national junior levels. Everyone hands in their skis the day before and get them the next morning with the same glider on all skis. And no Fluor based waxes are used to prevent harm to the wax techs and the environment.
So far the feedback has been good. But it works best for skate events
