Another example of the disproportionate amount of status and importance WTRL events hold within Zwift racing:
Don’t get me wrong, this absolutely will not affect me personally. 
But it doesn’t sit right with me that you must be registered with a third party company to participate in this. I started reading that article excitedly wondering if it was going to be some sort of community knockout competition that everyone on Zwift could take part in, in one way or another. Nope, same closed shop.
Will everyone affected by registered already? Almost certainly. This is an easy solution for Zwift. But again it sends the message that all other events aren’t really worth bothering with.
