  I would never play them if your payout is only 300% for getting 1st place. 
  
  the 200 credit 600 credit payouts for winning and shooting in the low 50's is ridiculous as it is for payouts

  So a little update...

  I was talking to the tournament team about this tournament and this is the idea that came out of it.  Feedback welcome.  This really only comes from about 30 min of hashing out the idea.

   

  1,000 Credit Entry

  15-20 players only

  3 Tournaments spanned over 3 weeks. Single play

  Top 2 scores combined would make up the winner, gives players a chance to have a bad hole and not fully be out of it.

  1st week entry fee paid, next 2 weeks the tournament will be by special invite only so no additional credits will be put in and no other players other then the original 15-20 can enter.

  Pay out top 5 based on 15 player entry

  5th - 1,000 Credits

  4th - 2,000 Credits

  3rd - 3,000 Credits

  2nd - 4,000 Credits

  1st - 5,000 Credits

   

  Any suggestions or tweaks?

  payouts are terrible.
  
  If anything have everybody involved and just make a cut after 1st round down to 45 people. then after 2nd round cut down to 15 people. and the winner should take 70% and 2nd Place 20%  
  
  Instead of WGT taking all 70-80% of all of the payouts like in the ready-gos. otherwise the tournaments are pointless and only people who don't know how to do math would play them
  
  
  Dansamcam has a decent idea. but mine is a bit more professional and proper let alone would be a lot more popular.

  Yeah...i don't get it. I mean he rarely plays Ready gos, and we are talking High stakes correct?

  If and i doubt very seriously he enters one of these tourneys he would be donating anyway, lol.

  ???     ;)  Or am i missing something?

  Edit: BTW i think Dan's idea is the best.
