comment
The method has a number of obvious weaknesses. First, the bifurcation method is transparent, that the runner knows exactly what are the alternatives. Such bifurcations are iar worthless. This is especially true when running in a crowd, where within a short time then form three clearly identifiable groups.
The three alternatives must be equivalent to, or choose all the same. But if they are equal, then it does not matter which you choose, so tactically it is only logical that determine, for example, the Swiss athletes in advance, that they all use the option c or at least to some secret sign.
From this point of bifurcation, the method only the possible effect of the 'Zonk', for example, if your choice is on the field clearly weaker than in the other two ... But no tactical component.
Finally, the technical solution of the 'decision item'. At one WOC10 Season happy times 18 runners stamped within 20 seconds or Tiomila 77 in 60 seconds. How can that be that a competitor can not see what stamps the precursor, without leading to a backlog?
