    Dont like the idea of points for a NR. Some athletes will get NR's a lot easier than others, depending on what country they are from. Dont think thats fair really.

    I happen to agree that it doesn't seem as fair to award points for NR given that CR and WL aren't rewarded. By the way minus 50 for any athletes failing a drugs test!!

    Yep, for example, theres f*ck all chance of Allyson Felix getting a national record because of Flojo's stupid times that are still allowed to count, while Derval O'Rourke could very well get a national record. It all depends on where the athlete is from and I dont think that is fair.

    I'd do away with extra points for any type of records to be honest, including World Records. The World Championships are about gold, silver and bronze. Records are merely a footnote, which can be broken in the future. The medals last forever.

    You guys are right in hindsight regarding extra points. The reason I had not given CR in first place was because of the tactical nature of the distance races often means they are at a disadvantage

    No extra points will be added

    Regarding Dan Man's pick. We will be nice and allow him to repick if he wants or he can risk it hold off and if she does get a ban can swap her out in the week of transfers in the week coming up to the championships

    Yes. Absolutely no excuses are valid.

    They should just start excluding national federations.

    I'm steering well clear of picking any Irish for fear of jinxing them too!

    Me next..

    The first choice is hard, because you want to start strong. I'm going to chance Betty Heidler from Germany, see if she can hammer out a few points for me!
