I don't have a horse in this race. But I do have one comment.
I keep seeing the phrase 'Level Playing Field'.
After playing in the last few WRTC championships, I definitely learned one thing.
'There ain't no such critter!'
I'm not talking about op skill. Even though the host countries tried to supply stations as 
similar as possible for all contestants, I still noticed dramatic differences in signals.
In this last WRTC, there were stations that had a distinct signal advantage over others.
This wasn't a 'at one time' situation. I noted a consistent advantage to certain stations.
So much for 'level playing field'.
Make whatever rules, classes, you wish, it won't LEVEL the field, just make MORE fields.
