To some extent I am Sass. Clearly not for personal gain but to suppliment other competitions that are advertised as free entry. The bottom line is you are a gentleman who wins one match in the main event, your ?15 buys you entry to one competion and part of your entry fee is actually going into a competiton prize fund that you cannot enter.

To me a free plate is a prize fund generated by other means ie rebuys (like the Surrey Singles) and or in sponsership form the venue or external csource.

The increase of 50% in entry fee has resulted in 75% of the additional revenue redistributed into other comps. I am sure the event will be extremely successful however you choose to run it.
