If anyone hasn't seen/read this link already, then I urge you to take a look. Almost 100 voters on the poll too.  |

Figure its about time to throw a spanner in the works.
The poll has been prepared with incomplete information and is bound to provide a skewed result. The options available were limited ie do you want 30% or 40% and the baseline is restricted to a 100 runner comp.
What payout do you propose for 70 runners or 140 or 190 or 250 etc.etc.
My point in suggesting the use of a tried and tested formula (Tex's TEARS) is that you can have a spreadsheet which is ready made to cover most eventualities.
It would appear to be fair the standard split on a 100 runner comp is not that far removed from what the 'majority' want.
I have heard it argued that the Americans have a distinct advantage over the Brits since they are used to playing out comps to win, rather than dealing 5 ways. Since this structure is commonly used in the States, I can only presume that it facilitates playing out for the prizes.
Why do we need to re-invent the wheel here, I cannot recall too many UK players bemoaning the payouts in American comps.
The formula exists, somebody else has done the hard work, why can't we just adopt it.

Personally, I'm more interested in what happens at the bottom end of the structure than the top.
I'm sick of playing in live tournaments where half the people who reach the money get less than the buy-in back.
