Is that the rationale for the financial incentive?
On the contrary
Quote:
“For 2017 we will continue with the combined championship entry incentive but also add this enormous AGT Overall Competitor Award for all eligible combined championship competitors.
“The $200,000 cash prize pool is additional to the added investment in media and increased opportunities for manufacturer and team sponsors involvement in hospitality and event interaction.
“Being able to have the AGT teams as the premier category at most of our 2017 events gives us the flexibility to manage the events so we have the best outcome for the AGT teams.”
