@sam Yup! I bet REVEL is not happy with this news. Their marketing has been strong on their net downhill for Boston qualifying.

Now that Boston has leveled the playing field, there is little-to-no interest in spending money and traveling to run these courses, when you could stay home and run the local qualifying course instead.

I've met many out-of-state runners on some of these courses who were there to take advantage of the downhill. I bet the race directors see a drop in registrations now.
