 Two quick points:

1) There was a lot of opposition at the last AGM both against the status quo (essentially your first proposal) and against qualifying, how will you convince these people to like it now?

2) 10 x 3.5 minutes does not make a 35 minute comp. This year there were 14 entries of 3.5 minutes and it took about 1h30m iirc. 35 minutes is the actual time the music plays, so in total the off-beat will still take 1 hour...

I think the qualifying proposal is best. It ensures that there are not suddenly 20 off-beats, which would completely wreck the timetable, while still making sure that anyone even remotely serious will make it through.

If there are indeed few entries, it will have no effect, but acts as a safeguard against huge numbers of entries. If current trends persist something similar might become necessary for the beginners comps in a couple of years...
