except for in disc golf that's not the norm & how it usually works, this isn't softball. I've been playing competitively since 2010 & every tournament I have played in (100+) has paid out at least 40% of the field, most cases more. So now 6 years later I sign up for a huge A Tier that's supposed to payout we'll cause of a previous years debacle, finish top 10 in Adv with an Int rating & get nothing? I had an awesome time, played tons of new courses over 4 days, players pack was nice, but if I would have had honest info up front we would have went to Michigan instead or played Des Moines the weekend before instead because for 6 years in competitive disc golf getting paid out for a good placement is what most Ams are used to, just advertise ahead of time that 5 players are getting paid out with the winner get $800+ in merch & let me decide if I want to participate instead of baiting me in with false promises of top heavy payouts.
You really think if that's how it worked tons of Ams would show up to play & fill all these tournies nowadays? Cause your wrong if you believe that. Am's make up waaaay more of the playing tourney fields than pros. Without the chance at a payout it would be crickets.
