Prizes
Given the credit pool available, we've worked out a general structure to work from. This maybe tweaked over the next week but it'll certainly be close to what's outlined below. Winnings will be pooled over a period of 3-4 tournaments and will then be paid out cumulatively at a stated time chosen by the management team.
Prizes can be gifted as balls / equipment / avatars or as a MPC loss. Tour management's preference is for balls to be gifted but we appreciate where prizes winnings are lower than the cost of the winning player's usual ball of choice, they may not wish to use this option. Where a player doesn't want to take their prize pool at a gifting stage, they simply need contact a member of Tour Management and then their prize pool will continue forward to the next gifting stage.
The tournament winner and runner(s) up will not be able to win additional prizes for best round, eagles or birdies. They are able to win the HIO / DE prize. This will ensure a fairer split of prizes during the tour.
