One thing that needs to be clarified before players start to send in their entry money is that unless the whole $75k is added to the PRIZE FUND then the event will be a category 2 event and not a category 3.
The ruse of indicating high levels of prize money has got tournaments a higher ranking tariff that the were qualified for in the past.
The WPA rules clearly state that the money must be added to the prize money and not some Slush Fund.
With the points yield reduced then some players may not consider that these points may not have a significant enough impact on their WPA Ranking to justify entering the US Open.
It is URGENT that this loophole is cleared up. NOW, ASAP, PDQ
