The King's Royal was always Open sanction, but All Star Rules for many years till WoO took over and sanctioned it. The Night before the King's Royal was a full All Stars Point Race.
Things have changed over the years.
WoO’s are just getting showup points if that I believe. But if you look at Knoxville nationals advertising, I don’t remember seeing anything WoO tied to it. From my understanding Knoxville doesn’t even pay WoO any money. It’s just an agreement between the two to have the WoO drivers and officials to help out and be there. WoO’s PPv dirtvision will not even be broadcasting the Nationals. Knoxville uses the mechanical tech side with WoO’s rules, but the racing format is strictly Knoxville rules (inversions, single file restarts, ect.). I’m sure Levi, Casey, & Knoxville will figure out a format/rules for all party’s involved will agree on. Hopefully a car count of 45+ will be there. Might have to make the trip to Iowa next July.
