I guess I'm still not seeing the point of ensuring spots for each gender.
The system is gender graded as well as age graded. If I run a 16:30 5k, I'd score 78.6%. For a female the same age to score 78.6%, they'd only have to run 18:47
Using this type of scoring, reserving X number of scoring spots for each gender is essentially the same thing reserving X number of spots for each age group, and I highly doubt that would ever fly.
