Distance? Can't use that. Ability? Nope.
Girls U12 should get paid the same as Boys U12, Women P12 should get paid the same as Men P12.
How "same" is calculated is up for debate though, I guess. Same percentage? What if Men P12 is 50 riders, pays 10 deep, $1000 purse, but Women only have 12, do they have identical $1000 purse, 10-deep payout or pay out the top 3? The winner gets WAY more than the men in that situation...
