I can and will criticize it. I think it is ridiculous there is a class system at all. But I guess we all need to feel like winners. Maybe we should make enough classes so that each class has 8 participants. Then we need to make sure we give out medals for the top 8 placers. I understand that 4 time state placers would sky rocket, but everyone would feel like a winner. It would really screw up trying to figure out which class was the toughest class. Would it be 1A, 6A, 10A, 12A? My bet would still be with 5A.
