1. I completely disagree on the weakened fields. Hell, it seems pretty clear that we are getting better pro fields at every single race this year precisely because the T100 Tour exists and thus the IM Pro Tour exists as well. Pretty sure someone could run the SOF scores for this year vs last and share that with us. Are you up for that Ajax Bay? You are right that LCB would race Nice if the T100 did not exist, but I much prefer athletes having more choice, especially when the races are more competitive, not less. It also seems like Kona is going to be one of the best fields we've ever seen so this has as much to do with Kona/Nice as it does with T100.

2. The PTO/T100 identity makes no sense as has been discussed extensively around here. What they are trying to accomplish, making middle distance triathlon popular enough to sell broadcast rights, is never going to happen so I'm just going to enjoy every race of theirs while they are still around.

3. They are unquestionably an unorganized mess, which we've seen every step of the way. It is very unfortunate as I'd gladly give them my money today to sign up for Las Vegas.

Could all of the money they've spent been put to better use? Yes, absolutely.
Is the T100 Tour stupid? No, I don't think so.
