It takes money to travel back and forth across the country. And time off
from work that not everyone can get to suit their "racing" schedule.
A championship based on the Tour would be okay if you got lucky [or
unlucky, depending on how you look at it] and all the competitors in your
class showed up for every event in the series.
A championship based on being the only one to show up at all the events
would be just a tad hollow. I'd hide the trophy.
