  WGTdbloshoe:

  The sponsor fee is less then what the overall payout of credits are, so this is in no way a money grab.  This is a way to give players or clubs a way to get their name out there.  Secondly it is also giving players a chance to win more credits with more tournament options.  I don't see how either of those are a bad idea.  To me a money grab would be us requiring you to cover a sponsor fee and the payouts.  Which again we are not doing.

  Yes you can tier restrict a tournament if you want.

  Looking forward to the sponsor charges clearly laid out together with the entire pay outs also clearly laid out, and separately options on how to split those pay outs.

  Nothing against you here but WGTs record on quality trading lately is not much chop.  ..........Up to WGT to manage that part.,  

  I would suggest the sooner WGT get o the above the sooner people will be able to decide if it's worth a second look or not.

  EDIT: Idea make it variable for clubs to choose.  500 credit charge to type the name in and 600 credit payout.  Sponsoring club chooses winner takes all, top 3 or top 10 split.  Sponsoring club gets to choose tiers open to..........Make the charge variable subject to a minimum, agree payout always more, declare the WGT rake..job done?

  The payouts are exactly the same as the regular weekly or monthly payout.  The top 70 players from each tier will be awarded the same credits.  Again in terms of the Sponsor fee, as soon as I have the number I will give it to you.

  Example - Weekly awards roughly 7k in credits. Monthly about 7k also

  Ok how about his everyone, I will go ahead and take two clubs who are looking for members and sponsor them myself this week.  Only thing I require is that the club owner provide some feedback to me.  Anyone want to volunteer?

  We will have to see about that.  I can't answer it, at this point I think the only answer people can give is for themselves.  Given some time we will find out.

  Then what is the point in having this:
  Community-Organized Tournaments A place for players to organize tournaments. (Not sponsored by WGT)

  Community organized is generally when clubs want to play match play against each other.  This option is a private tournament that multiple clubs can enter and compete against each other.  They will all play on the same course, same conditions and we should even be able to make it a restricted golf club/ball tournament.

  I don't think WGT is struggling at all ,,,,but I do think WGT is trying to make as much as they can, but doing it in the wrong way .......all in all I think the company(WGT) should think more into fixing the problems they have now before adding more .....as a business owner my self I would never venture into areas that I have no idea what the outcome could be
