Maybe (as a way to evolve and grow the sport) extend the Flying 200M into a Flying Lap as a stand-alone event and come up with a different way to seed the sprint tournament?

That way the TT specialists can be TT specialists and match sprinters can be match sprinters.

(I suck at both, btw, so I don't have a dog in this fight.)


EDIT:

Think about it. If there were some other way to seed the tournament, then an entire 1/2 day to full day wouldn't be required to hold flying 200M qualfiying...an event that doesn't award a medal (the flying 200M TT or flying lap TT would be a separate event...that awards a medal ). I don't know what the alternative would be. Maybe random 1st round seedings with more reps to avoid 1 vs 2 randomly meeting early on and knocking each other out? Round Robin then Brackets for semis and finals? 3-ups early on?
