I know others are discussing how the slots get allocated, but my takeaway from this is that this is a temporary measure until the 2025 cycle rolls over and we get back to 2200-2500 slots per gender. Right now there's about half as many slots that should be there on the men's side since roughly half (I've seen 1200 quoted elsewhere) of the slots for the 2024 men's cycle were given out as part of the 2023 cycle before they announced the split venue.

Once its back to 40-50 slots per gender, a lot of the issues being discussed disappear
