You are completely right. If the Pros would STOP chasing Kona and WTC's trumped up World Championship then that would make a real statement. No pros, no championship event. Instead they whine like a bunch of little kids about not being able to have their cake and eat it too.

If you agree to participate then you agree to follow the rules of the event. If you don't like it, go somewhere else.

The A list pro's can't stop chasing Kona because that's where the money is. And other organizations won't have an easy time with launching a competing product because Kona is where the corporate sponsors are and WTC has a pretty good lock on that. When you're the market equivalent of the 900 pound gorilla you have a responsibility to exercise that power in a reasonable and responsible manner. I do not think. however, that WTC intended to promote any action that would kill their goose. But I also feed my cat too many treats because I love it and that's not good for the cat either. Unintended consequences and this letter is going to expose a lot of those.
