  payouts for champion tier - 360c for the winner and percentage as per regular tournament.

  tour legend tier - 10k 1st, 7.5k 2nd, 5k 3rd

  legend tier - 10k , 7.5k , 5k

  tour master tier - 7.5k , 5k , 4k

  master tier - 5k , 4k , 3k

  tour pro tier - 4k , 3k , 2k

  pro tier - 4k , 3k , 2k

  amateur tier - 3k , 2k , 1k

  sooo my question is what was the point of champion tier again?

  seems like its better to stay/make more accounts at lower levels, disguise urself and rape the lower level tiers.

  no its 4 single rounds of 9 holes each.

  I see mods commentating on other threads but not this, guess theyre ignoring it.

  I didn't expect much.

  that's darn near ludicrous....but if you add that 360 to the 250 for reaching this tier...we can almost get the shiny new sleeve of balls ;)

  If I'm not mistaken, the only Champ tier tourney that pays more than TL is the Nation weekly.

  generally the payouts are ok - this one stuck out like a sore thumb tho.

  posted it out here in case it slipped through wgts safety net lol

  but its been ignored by the very people who should read it.

  bit more care and attention to detail is whats missing here.

  unless it was done deliberately.... then its just a bogus tourney lol

  Yes, I was. There are 12 "free to enter" stroke play tourneys (6 weekly & 6 monthly) as of today. 5 of them pay 720 to the winner. 

  The others all pay 360 to winner.

  The Nation weekly paid 848 credits.

  Since I haven't won any tourneys (free), there is the possibility that they pay more than stated in the "winner receives 360 credits" section.

  I did win a Nation weekly, so I know what it paid. The strange thing is, it states "720 credits to winner", yet I won 848 credits. So, I think, that there has to be a certain amount of scores posted, or the balance of unpaid credits is paid out %-wise to those who posted scores.

  Look again. Almost all the Champ tier pots are double the TL pots in the weeklies. And you know the reason why ;-) The Nation is one of the few that pays the same.

  The monthly multiround is, I believe, an oversight.

  But you are right about your extra payout. The pot is shared between the top 70 entrants according to WGT´s formula. If there aren´t 70 finishers, every finisher gets a proportional extra share.
