Weight, or muscle mass %, or reaction speed, or stamina, or whatever makes sense in the context of a specific competition. I’m neither a sports person nor an expert on human anatomy, but surely there are better ways to do it than what we have now.
that genuinely feels like it might be the best option, provided you can set up a reliable rule framework for it and avoid people just paying to be moved up or down the ranks

Yeah, weight/weight classes would be much fairer, either seperately or combined like they do in (some) bodybuilding now.
But testosterone is a hell of a drug, and height and weight matter a lot, and weight classes are a choice. You could end up with far too many categories to fill.
Yeah, just stick with weight classes.
Or something analogous depending on the thing. Weight classes in shooting or long jump seems off.
More weight obviously means that you can push the bullet faster
Did not consider, am not a sports doer.
