2) to the extent coth racing is also suspect, the distribution of winners was spread out more evenly, which suggests a more fair system. If we can't have faith in either coth races or footraces, we might as well choose the one that had the largest variety in individuals who could win it.

3) the barrier to coth racing is much much lower than footracing (which probably goes a long way towards explaining why the distribution of winners is more spread out). to the extent what the devs (and Vanq., at least so they claim) want is a competitive environment, lower barriers of entry to the competition themselves will promote rather than hinder that goal.
Coth Racing would only be more inclusive if there were 24 hour lockouts or something.

But, if you think a .15ms advantage of pressing W before others is game breaking, think about the advantage of 24/7 ability to coth. Never has to pee, doesn't watch netflix, doesn't get bored, doesn't get tired. There is a reason they swiftly and abruptly removed it.

Trust me cothing isn't the way.

However, I think my solution really would cut out a lot of questions. If you do a roll off in an enviroment such as this, the possibility of cheating becomes very very low.
