Travis Thompson › Prodigy Star Series IV sponsored by Chick-fil-A - #2 Gatewood Park July 26 at 1:55am
Am payout for a standard C-tier has to be at least 45% per PDGA rules. I would recommend anyone considering playing in this series take a look at the comment section from last year's Finale

Can you list the rule to which you are referring from the PDGA Manual? I’m just curious, not trying to be argumentative.
This is the only rule under events that I could find:
Minimum of 85% payout of Net Entry Fees to Amateur purse (prizes + player packs)
Players packs + fees are equivalent to the $40 entry. Plus, they have given out addtl payout to top 25% of finishers.
Hi Jake, I think Travis is misinterpreting the standards. What you said is correct. C Tiers do not have to have AM payout as long as AM players received at least 85% of Entry Fees via Player Packs.
I would do more than take a look at the comments. Take a look at what you are getting when you pay your $40. To me, the return is much more than $40. 2 discs, free chances at CTPs, lunch card for Chick Fil A, and a sanctioned round. All seems fair to me. Thank you for all your hard work that goes into these events, Zo.
Agree with Chad 100 percent
Once again, I want to thank Matt and Prodigy for putting on these events. In my mind they are a great value, thanks for all you do for the community.
