What do TDs think about a standardized pay out system for SN?

I am thinking about going to a system for deeper payout increasing with the more difficult the division.

Example:
Jr. and Novice would receive a disc for signing up and a 1st place plaque for the winner.

All Intermediate divisions (male and female) would get a 15.00 disc for registering and pay the top 3 places.

All Advance divisions (male and female) the pay out would be top 1/3 of the field.

All Open divisions (male and female) the pay out would be top 1/2 plus 1.

I am thinking of going to this payout system for La Cote tournaments in French Settlement and Ragley.

Please keep the comments non ban able.......LOL

So your saying take the Am entry fee money and give it to the pros? or would the am entry fees stay with the Ams?

I am not moving any money!

Am pays 20.00 to play they get 15.00 disc 5.00 goes to payout. 20 ams is 100.00 for pay out. minus plaque cost.

Guess I should have put the entry fee as part of it.

Keith,
I don't think the increased payout system as given is a good idea. THis series has always been "for the players" - encouraging the novice and am divisions and resulting in fields that rival any DG series anywhere....

The heart of our series being the players, I cannot agree to the structure as suggested.

Sure there is bagging, etc. but bagging can be dealt with by creating firm and understandable guidelines on "move up" requirements.....to put it simply - not everyone wants or cares about being "pro"......play where you are comfortable and have a good time should outweigh the restrict the am divisions and cause folks to move up by weighting the payouts to the higher divisions.....

This is my opinion.....

I feel you would see a direct hit on your attendance and the number of newbie players willing to enter tourneys....

To me this idea does not translate to a positive outcome for the SN........Peace bro, Griff

Thanks Griff!

I understand your point and did not think of it from that view point.

I think this is a great idea. This will entice some of the competitors that should be in a higher division to move on up.

Keith, I would say try it once then ask for feedback. Just post ahead of time your payout expirement. It might work great.

You will make pros upset b/c 1st place cash will be garbage from paying out half. Won't have incentive for open to travel. The rest looks alright....maybe not a set top 3 ams bc if your a good am player it would cause the top am in sn to never move up. If anything, you should payout more ams so that the winner of the am tournament wont get as much so he will move up and more people will come out of the tournament with something.

I disagree with the payout for Open. But I am just looking at it from my tournaments. I always add much $$$ to all Open divisions.

With a deeper payout in open you'll get more adv. players wanting to test the waters. It's a pretty tall order when you show up to a tourney and there's 9 open players consisting of Matt, Fowler, DD, Rivers, Tony, Bernie, Cameron etc....Matt and Fowler are so consistent that most times that's spots 1 and 2 taken. Add a couple of payout spots and you'll get others stepping up because of the additional chance to cash.

it isn't right to take away from the winners of the tournament just to make more pro's happy. Most pro's doesnt even want a players pack for this same reason. The only way it would work would be a lot of added cash.

If you pay out half then it is taking the money from the top players because you have to scatter it over more places causing a loss for the winners.

That would be better...dillon if there is added cash, then the winner should get more money ....not just add on to the payout.

Wasn't tryin to offend or bash on anyone's idea. I was just stating what a lot of the pros will say. Shoot if pro's got paid out 50% i have a better chance at getting money b/c i never win an open tournament (unless its tupelo ice bowl and i am the only one there :) ). Players in the Intermediate doesnt need to win a lot and there will be a nice incentive to move up. As long as they keep winnin $300-400 worth of plastice for each win....why would they move up to open and barely win more than that..Even though its money, they usually can't win open tournaments all the time and would rather have the definate plastic/merchandise to sell.

Well then make the players pack really nice so the winnings seem like they barely won anything :). Players pack 3/4 of the entry fee would have made me move up. I have been to tournaments where I won an intermediate and only got like $50 but it was a voucher ( and a plaque).

Keith, you should have left your original post... I thought it had a good point.

But there is so many things that could be done about bagging, just people don't want to push anyone away from disc golf. And this will always go back to ratings b/c we wouldn't have to do anything about bagging if we had ratiings b/c they would have to throw tournaments in order to bag. Maybe, if you have won an event at that certain tourny, you should move up in that tourny for the next year. And each TD or the BOD have a list of each winner on each tournament to let them know that they can not play in that particular division after you won it in the past year.

This seems like the best way to me. Except for tournaments where there is only like 8 or so ams, then I would pay top 3
