Lots of interesting discussion points surrounding the latest email on AWA program benefits, particularly as it relates to early entry at select events. What I found most interesting is the last line of the article, however:
"So this year, race hard, and work your way to the top. Because there's more than the coveted world championship slots on offer"
The article makes no mention of the AWA program being linked to Kona except this last line which to me seems to imply that world championship slots are somehow affiliated. I am just confused by this. I know there has been a lot of discussion on Kona moving to the point ranking system; is this the final precursor to that in fact happening?
Here's the link to the article for those who haven't seen it:
