With Roth coming up, I'm wondering if the Challenge series of races could grow and expand and be as popular at WTC/Kona/70.3 Worlds if they followed a similar AG qualifying for Championship races (ie Half and Full Distance). Roth seems like the perfect race to make it a "By Qualification Only" race.
Surely this idea has been kicked around before. The main issue would be the multiple "World Championship" title, which I guess WTC has the strangle hold on. Would be difficult to call Roth a world championship race when we already have one in Kona.
It just sort of seems as soon as you make a race more difficult to get into, the more people want to do it?
