I just give all the Open players envelopes with their cash as soon as I have the fields scores done. They don't want to wait around and quite frankly the less people waiting around for me, the better. Not had any complaints (that I know of).

I say paypal it to them. It's easier for the TDs when they already have other things to worry about. That said, if I have time, I'll cash someone out early, though I really dont like to. I'd rather the players that finished top in their division be recognized and applauded. That seems to be happening less and less and tournaments are becoming less and less like events and more like 2 round minis. When I play, I dont make other plans. My plan is to play in the event and cheer for the winners and commiserate with those who didn

Offer the payouts as soon as possible to all players. Do the rafffle after the payouts. No fanfaire for 4th place or lower. Just announce the top 3 cashing players per division. Id love to play tourneys that dont take 10 hrs in one day to participate in. Just a few suggestions. Thanks for all you do guys!!!!

Matt, typically I offer to hold back the trophy and such for the Open player that has until awards. Nobody has taken me up on that so far. I used to make them wait but they seeming wore me down on that issue and made that compromise.

One of the problems that paying out people early often leads to is while the TD is "coddling" the "I need to get home early" player, other details of the event are put on hold and while the few players who got out early are happy and on their way, everyone else has been delayed even longer. Maybe it is time for the people who play for cash actually act like a Pro and help make a difference for everyone.

We thought about providing real sweet players packs and only provide payouts to the top finishers. Some big events have done this for years and have had nothing but good results. This does not appeal to everyone though. Bowling Green and Worlds do this for people too where they use online stores for players to redeem their winnings. I wouldn't say it is impossible..

with the A.M's the thing I notice that seems unfair is that when calling out winners from each division it goes from the bottom of the payout scale to the first place position so while you wait the people who finished lower get first dibs on the merch table and the Winner takes the leftovers ! Just my 2 pennies.

Once upon a time people respected one another and hung out until the winners were announced so everyone could applaud their good play and THEN the prizes were dispersed. That was then, this is now. We have implemented many changes through the years and will continue to do so.

I dont think there is any more or less respect out there Jonny, just the time it takes to play tournys has reached a magnitude of suck that needs to be addressed. Courses are way longer, fields are way bigger, # of divisions are way way bigger. Very very few sporting events require you to spend 10+ competing. We just need to continue to adjust to the growth of the sport. The Team Stony Open is a two day one round a day tourney coming up Aug 24 and 25. Come on out and give this format a try. http://www.discgolfscene.com/tournaments/Team_Stony_Open_2013

I'm no TD, nor would I ever have the patience for it, but I feel tourneys should start at 8am. With most events being pre reg only nowadays, I don't see much reason to not get there and go. I have always been an early bird. But I would love to finish around 5 instead of 8.
