It would not seem unreasonable that a qualification for participating in the candidates tournament would be agreeing, if one won the tournament, to compete for the world championship.
Dennis, I think this event is important in its own right, and with a very interesting and not too common knockout format. I am not sure how many times Carlsen has participated in it, but it is an event he has never won. The qualification for the candidates is surely an important aspect, but not the only one.

limited posts lately.
