Excessive profit taking is a meaningless innuendo at this point. Any problems with the pace of play would not be attributed to the organizers. Using ghost cards or "heavy" cards was avoided as a way to meet the high demand for participation. Next year's participation should not suffer as a result of the anticipated pace or the payoffs.

I am uncertain how to address this post. I'll give details: AM3 Entry fee= $20. $10 Player Pack $2 PDGA Fee = $8 per player going to payout pool. So, with $820 - 410 - 82 = $328 leftover for payout. 50% of the field was paid out. The players who received the mini's tied for the final payout spot. That is why they both received a mini. It is always my hope to pay out MORE than what is brought in, but it requires cash sponsorships for the tournament. If you would like to help increase the payouts per tournament, please help locate and land cash sponsorships. I cannot payout more than what is taken in without that type of sponsorship. Sorry.

Rick- you need not have given such a precise explanation in response to such a vague complaint. However, I do appreciate how TDs like yourself volunteer your time and resources. Some disc-retailers can make a business case for doing tournaments. There should be some PDGA based calculation of expenses/stipends when folks like you give us these tournament opportunities.

I am sure other Pro Players would love that Steve, but being an amateur myself... I have enjoyed receiving a payout along with my players package. But, you are correct.... I cannot make everyone happy. I definitely try and strive to. Dog Daze should be much better for all divisions. I am forced to pay out more than what is taken in according to the MDGO. HOPEFULLY all players will be happy with that. Of course, sponsorships are going to in need in order to meet the MDGO's requirements.

the round times are pretty much out of your hands but to give the winner of the rec division two discs not of their choice (including a star lite which usually aren't used by experienced players) when others are available seems a little short sighted. I've never ran a tournament and I understand there are a lot of factors at play but the winners prize package was very meager in comparison to other events. properly rewarding the best players at your tournament can result in better and better players entering every year, and you'll build prestige. I don't mean to offend anyone, just an idea.
