  Sounds good.  Thanks for the effort.  Hopefully it works out.

  Is it also possible to one day allow CC's this same ability inside their clubs?  Instead of forcing us to get creative in ways we pay out when we sponser events.

  The bank will help with that.  Still no exact time frame on it though sorry.

  2015?  I kid.  Kinda.

  And what ever became of the CC of the Week feature?

  It will be back.  We are making some changes to it, instead of just featuring clubs, we are looking at featuring players as well.  Should start up in a week or two.

  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.

  Just making sure I understand this correctly, Mr. Shoe.

  I say I'll sponsor a weekly with 4000 cr and choose the venue, you guys set it up the following week and deduct 4000 from my account. Then anyone can enter and play it for free and when it's over, players will be paid out from those 4000, minus the WGT rake (I'm assuming there will be one ;-) ).

  I love the idea, but even more the second invitational option.

  But you are correct any players in the game would be able to play the tournament for free.  No entry fee, no passes required, and no special equipment needed.

  Well how's that a "recruiting tool"?  Shouldn't it be limited to players not in a CC?  Basically we're being given the opportunity to fund WGT Weekly events now?

  We don't have the ability bro limit to nom CC members. It is recruiting because your name will be on the tournament, the description of the tournament will be written by you, and a link to your CC page will be included. Your club will been seen by tens of thousands of players.       - WGTdbloshoe

  I see... Lots of eyes is never a bad thing in recruiting.  Looking forward to it, thanks for explaining it.

  The payout at the end of the tournament will be the same as we payout for all of our tournaments.  The only way it would change is if you select say the Top 10 only would be paid. The fee really is just so you can sponsor it and have us build it.  It's not really designed to cover the payouts.

  Correct me if I'm wrong Shoe. The way I read this is the sponsor amount eg 5000 credits.  Will not be included at all in the payout of the tourney. Regular tourney payouts would apply. The 5000 would be just to get the CC's name on the tourney?

  The payout for tournaments is much higher then the fee, based off your 5k, that would really only cover a the Legend and TL tiers of a weekly tournament.  We don't want this sponsor fee to be so massive.  We really want this to be for CC's to recruit and advertise their clubs.

  OK sorry if being thick and missed any exact costings:

  Seems a win win for all this.  CCs get to advertise so more members, and more members = more play encouraged = more balls bought for WGT.

  All that in mind may I go so far as to say we are looking at a rather nominal v fair play fee then?  If so (apologies if missed it) what is this "non massive" fee exactly, just one round number if you could to make it easy for simpletons like me:)

  Because this is new, the sponsor fee is fluid.  But probably in the 3,000 credit range.  Not set in stone and will depend on if it is a weekly or monthly.
