Why not simply limit the women to one tournament, either the Open or the womens but not both. In other words, the gals would have to choose. If they chose the national Open, they would not be allowed to bowl the national womens and vice versa. I would also apply this rule to state and local championship tournaments. Of course I know such a rule will never be adopted because the USBC, at most levels, is only concerned about maximizing entries and thereby the $ they take in.
