Don,
My opinion is that more research needs to be done. The discussion thus far has revealed potential deficiencies in the definition of the event. It should remain unofficial at least until those issues are addressed. The proposers did not consult the rest of the indoor community, so these issues are predictable just like what happened with the F1D rules change proposal in 2014.
If we as an indoor community do indeed want a serious beginner's event in a heavier weight class, there needs to be more research (see, Don DeLoach, I'm not in complete opposition to the idea!). I still say a more open-ended event is a better idea. We're pulling kids in three different directions--TSA has their event, and SO has theirs which changes annually (and currently has a terrible awful no good set of rules).
So. Let's have P-18 at the nats, and let's wait on the rules proposal. Revisit when this has been hashed out fully.
