Here's something for you to think about, seeing how you don't quite understand, which is why you posted your snide remark
Maybe I'm just stupid enough to sponsor some $20,000 added Pros only 16 player Pro Tour stops, promoting single elimination, race to 21, with match time limits of 3 hrs, and pay ALL the players, 9-16 $500 ea, 5-8th $1,000 ea, 3-4th $2,000 ea 2nd $4,000 1st $8,000 on a Saturday.....as a way of promoting my new adhesive....I could be that stupid I guess what would be even more stupid is if there was no entry fee
I'm not that good at math, but.......
$8,000
$4,000
