I think you and I have had similar discussions Deep.

Why does the real world have to impact my fantasy one so badly? LOL I agree here Deep. If I could get everyone on board I'ld be slashing weight classes, age caregories, etc. But I cannot and people will pay (and pay handsomely) to enter all these fringe divisions.

So I would say offer them (but not expand them) at the local level. I do not think we want to grow these into national meets nor categories.

Again that is easier said then done.
