Shill is probably too harsh a term, and I could have phrased it more diplomatically. The rest of what I wrote I stand by. As for your communist and NFL comparisons...I don't even know where that came from. I'll have to leave it at that, as debating both SD and lyle on DGCR would be a full time job and I have to go to work now.

If those numbers are met then you can't say they were short changed. Someone might personally feel they should make more or that the formula is wrong, or even that it's sexist, but the rule was met.
Was the rule met?

Poor SD86, you've been lumped in with me.
No idea. Haven't seen the payouts and even if I had, I don't know how the entry fees break down in order to figure out how the added cash was distributed. I was only answering your question about the existence of a formula.
Also, I don't think Biscoe was necessarily saying that the Aussie Open broke rules in "shafting" FPO. Even if they didn't, that wouldn't invalidated his opinion one iota.

Absolutely. But I would like to keep the difference between what biscoe feels, and whether a rule was broken clear, if I could.

As best I can tell working off of various FB postings the payout was "legal" but in poor taste.

Some would commiserate with you for being lumped in with me.
Oh well, points have been made and taken as they will be...

I'm not surprised that the women are being given short shrift, legalities notwithstanding. Jussi's DGWT didn't even have an FPO last year, leaving the women DGers angry and Sarah Hokum boycotting the USDGC after being invited as USWDGC Champion. Now Jussi's DGWT tournament is short-shrifting the women again? Gotta wonder why so much misogyny is going on in Europe...

By poor taste, did they have cash that could have gone there to make payout more equitable to men's and didn't? Just curious. If you have an event and leave the FPO feeling they were treated poorly, given what happened with Val, you've kind of blown it I'm guessing.

How are they being shorted if they are following PDGA guidelines?
Wouldn't that be an issue with the PDGA and not Jussi?
Also, did you hear there's no separate women's division or grand prize in that new LAT 64 Amateur car deal?

26 men vs 9 women, I would think there would be a pretty huge difference in the payout.
