What you say is fair comment. I've explained the reasons why we've done it this way so won't go into them again. This is partly why I have gone public with the prize fund details at this early stage. We want to promote the plate as we didn't actually have one last year and several people commented on it afterwards.
People can make their own decisions on whether they want to enter based on the facts.

It might be worth pointing out that if you win your second match in the main event then you will get ?25 back. That is actually an increase on last year where we only paid down to the semis. We listened to the feedback and made an adjustment.

Should we start changing things now? I'm not sure it's appropriate but we will certainly give it some thought.
