It clearly is wishful thinking that there will be a Kona in 2020. One thing that should be up for consideration is whether there really needs to be 2000+ competitors. If people can’t qualify, find flights, etc., let’s just do it with a full pro field, whatever AG qualifiers already made reservations, and the Legacy types that can find a way to make it.
With whatever version of social distancing exists in October 2020, let’s make it work with something like a 1500 person field.
There is no way IM will let that happen. They are a business, 500+ entry fees in addition to purchases from the expo etc is a lot of money. If they can't get enough qualifiers or people from the legacy program they will sell the spots to whoever wants them, there will be no shortage of takers.
