Re: Ironman CEO: dear professional athletes [Rappstar]
Jordan since you're closer to this than anyone else, let me ask a few questions that need to be answered imo. Since this sounds like it's going to make it into a contract of some sort with athletes, contracts are binding in both directions. With that in mind:

If WTC doesn't increase visibility like that stated in section 4 and can't/doesn't come through with some of the things stated in 3 and 5 shouldn't their be a clawback provision in the contract for the pro's?

After all they are now paying for certain enhancements.

What if WTC f*cks up again with their online video coverage like at 70.3 worlds. Shouldn't there be another clawback clause for the pro's that raced there?

What if Lava print sales decrease, again that's less exposure shouldn't there should be a clawback option for that?

My next questions revolves around measurement.

How is WTC going to measure this? With lava sales it's easy, subscriptions either go up or down, but some of the other things are not as concrete.

How are they going to measure growing the sport?

Is it growth with WTC participants, which could easily be achieved by adding races or is it growth within each countries NGB membership?

What if a NGB's memnbership decreases? That's growth failure. Clawback?

These are the tough questions that need to be asked but more importantly need to be answered. I think if pro's really think about this, your inbox could get flooded.

You guys may want to come out with a FAQ or have a global conf call addressing some things to avoid the email flood.
