Both the executives and championships are clearly described as separate operations, with separate owners and profit motivations.
Here is where I am confused. How is it that if they are truly totally separate operations, the Priority Membership fee gets the member benefits for each separate operation? For those who are unaware, the priority membership gives the member priority t times and discounts at the Championships, but it also covers the members trail fees at the Executives. Are they really separate operations, or is that just lip service? Inquiring minds want to know?

I look at the inclusion of the trail fees with Priority as an incentive for you to sign up for Priority. There are lots of cross company incentives, I get a discount for service/vendor X for signing up for service/vendor Y. Think of wireless or streaming TV for examples. Here is is the VCCD and the Developer having such an agreement. It makes the Priority Fee seem less as it includes this known cost.
