I was trying to think of an area of T&F as neglected as race walking, and the multi-events quickly came to mind. Expensive, time consuming and hard to follow.
In an effort to increase interest in multis, and align the interests of competitive programs with this goal, what if multis scored 3x as many points in championship meets as single event disciplines?
I.e. scoring would be 30-24-18-15-12-9-6-3 rather than 10-8-6-5-4-3-2-1
So a good all-arounder can compete in an event s/he could win, get a multi mark, and make a contribution to team place, whereas now they are more likely to do several individual events, with less impressive results.
