That comparison doesn’t make sense to me. When the end game for some racing is Kona qualifying, you can’t make it easier if you race more. In a wave start IM, this could make a massive difference in finishing times when some slots are decided by seconds.

This is all based off my assumption that’s AWA athletes are eligible for their special slots as well as regular AG slots because it’s vague. If they’re not pulling slots from AG, or included in AG slots, then never mind
