Not sure about it. Since there will be always someone in the bottom of the category in-between two levels. Very tricky one. One way is to create a personal category for each 1/100 w/kg ))), or…
But one thing is clear. The higher the category goes the bigger the meaning of those differences is.
Example: the Cat D difference between 2w/kg and 2.5 w/kg is not so big as trhe difference between 4.5w/kg and 5w/kg capability.
So definitely there is a need to split the A cat or make it one cat, but the final results should be split for A, A+ and A-pro, A-pro+ or something like this (One cat, but with separated final results - since it will be hard to find so many riders at higher lvl for different events). And yes, maybe the B cat also, but not sure about it…, people will always complain why they are not in the top of their cat and there should be a special group for their limits…(speaking as someone from the bottom of B group or top C )))).

But again, the same topic is discussed all over the forum:
- Auto-Assign Race Categories
- Auto-assign user to race category
- Auto promotion/demotion to correct categories for racers
- Zwift race category, what's the point?
- Automatic Race Disqialification when exeeding W/Kg for the Category
- Formal Race Category System
- C/D: How do you stay motivated during a race?
- Getting annoyed with this
- Why a separate system to manage races?
- Race Category Restrictions
- Simple sandbagging solution
- Throttling Watts/KG for race mode categories
- Wind Penalty
- Stop race category cheats - opinions?
…and so on
Thus, the main questions is: how to stop dishonesty by using tech and/or different types of automated systems?
By the way, what about additional honesty reputation score?..
