Select 70.3 Events Feature Ironman Entry Spots

Does anyone know what the deal is with the news article posted on ironman on the 12th? It says several 70.3’s will have entries for the fulls, but does not explain what the situation for getting a slow would be. Just wondering…figure maybe I could slide another race in if it makes sense.

Sorry if the question ahs already been brought up, I couldn’t find it.
