    So we will be rolling out something new starting in February.  We will be giving individual players or Country Clubs the ability to sponsor a tournament on our weekly and monthly rotation.  What this means is clubs can use this as a way to draw new members by hitting a wider audience that may not come to the forums.

    The sponsor fee will include the ability to select a weekly or monthly tournament, a description of your club or about yourself, choice of course, choice of game settings, and choice of payout format.

    Example - The WGTdbloshoe Tournament

    Weekly

    Bandon dunes - Back Tees, moderate wind, 13.5 green speed.  Payout to top 10.

    We would then build this tournament to start on the next week or month.  We would remove the fee from a single player or multiple depending on what was wanted.

     

    Another option we will be offering, we have done before but on a small scale.  We have manually entered players into a special tournament.  Usually this was done for high stakes games, we are now opening this option up to any clubs that want to challenge another club, or maybe a group of friends who aren't in the same club but want to play against each other in a tournament.  Again whoever sponsors this will be able to choose course and conditions as well as payout options. The fee again will be taken from a single player or from multiple.

    To start this will be done exclusively through the forums.  We are going to limit it to 3 tournaments a week and 5 monthly.  For the second option we are going to limit it to 5 a month to start.  If the demand is high enough we will expand it.  Feedback is welcome and if you are interested you can contact me privately. 

    We are trying to do two things here, give clubs a new way to recruit as well as giving players a new way of highlighting friends or themselves.

    So whoever "sponsors" the tournament will be responsible for putting up the purse? Is that right?

     So lets say a CC wats to do this , Could some of the CC members offer to pitch in ( player X offers so much , player Y can only add 1/2 that and 3 more members can only give 1/4 ),

     All the members can Click on the CC Bank and make a deposit and then the pay out comes from the CC Bank ?

    No.  The Sponsor Fee is the only thing they would be responsible for.  The purse would be the Normal amount we pay out for a weekly or monthly tournament.

    WGT needs to sort out the country club bank first.

    If they wish to yes, but it is not a requirement to sponsor a tournament.
