personally I would think that if the lower tiers have a chance at a trophy , they;d be more active in tournaments locally and worldly . I set up tier specific tourneys also but we cant always be there to moniter them.
Wouldn't it make sense that if the lower tiers have a chance to win, then they'd be more apt to use real money to upgrade equipment as opposed to using whatever credits they have to enter a tier specific tourney only to be be sniped by a higher tiered member.
Agreed, honesty and integrity would be a good rule of thumb to go by and in most cases does work but it doesnt always happen that way. And by the time we as owners catch it , the damage is already done.
This causes , in my case as I dont want to speak personally for the other owners, to not only be club security but also try and contain damage usually out of my own pocket in which the rightful winner didn't get their credits due them and ending up with maybe a sleeve of balls, and in some cases may have a potentially decent person say the game isn't worth it and become comatose.
Please WGT give the club owners more control of what takes place within the club.
