This whole fiasco has been brewing since Nov. of '09 and the BAA failed to see it, or prepare for it. My list:

1 - make NO changes to overall field size

2- make NO changes to charity field size

3 - shorten 18-mo. qualifying window

4 - tighten M/F BQs by 5 minutes, across the board

5 - BQs must correspond with age on date run, NOT age on Patriot's Day

6 - open registration no sooner than Jan. 10, to accommodate EVERY fall qualifying race

7 - establish an authorized bib transfer program; for wait-listed hopefuls, from qualifiers who withdraw due to injury or illness
