One of the issues that Centurion faced a few years ago at their World Wakesurfing Championships was that the regular side wake was better than the goofy side wake. As is typical at these things, folks complained. I believe it was last year that Centurion introduced a reverse rotating prop and that got the wakes on either side so close to equal you couldn't tell the difference. Realistically for our small grass roots contests we aren't going to have the resources to ask Sponsor "M" to provide us 2 boats - OH and by the way, would you reverse the rotation of the prop on boat number 2
My thought is that you require each participant to ride backside at some point in the contest - either switch backside on the same side of the wake, or backside on the other side of the wake. In this way, you really determine the best all around rider and I think you step up the riding for everyone. You diminish the impact of a wake that is better on one side than the other. AND for those of us that can't ride backside, we provide entertainment for the judges.
