Maybe you can just make a list of all the people who you consider too
advanced to fly the event and attach that to the rules.

Or maybe you can come up with a rule that anyone who has ever flown a legal
AMA indoor duration model in their lifetime is barred from the event

I really don't see that this event has any attraction for advanced fliers.
I've already said that I won't fly it. And that doesn't mean that I'm
opposed to the event.
