If I play MPO and reject cash, can I take funny money instead?

Are you an amateur playing in pro division?

Yes, I am amateur wanting to play MPO but not lose amateur status.

Obviously, you have the option to reject cash to maintain amateur status but voucher money would not be provided in lieu of cash payment. By rule, the money you turn down will go to the next place player. You also have the option to play MA1 instead of MPO and accept all winnings in vouchers.

It doesn’t matter if I sign up because I’ve accepted cash, but at B-tiers I know that a player may decline cash and receive voucher money instead. So are you saying you won’t allow this because of thinking there is a PDGA rule against it, or because you are choosing not to provide voucher payment in lieu of cash even though that is an option that the PDGA allows at B-tier/C-tier events?

@Mark Jones, good catch. I missed the A-Tier specification. Thank you. Caleb, if you would like to play MPO and accept a voucher in lieu of cash payment, that will be offered. Sorry for the late reply, I missed this question earlier.
