Hi all, I know posting answers to my question here may not be appropriate but my email is: mailto:mcdonl@mmc.org - mcdonl@mmc.org I am trying to find out what the "average" payout is. Also, do you payout based on event or overall placement. Does anyone else pay all places or just 4? What about women, do you pay an equal amount to pro men and women? Thanks! ------------- Leroy McDonough |

It's probably a 50/50 split from the games I attend between paying just the overall and paying per event placing . Most games pay down every spot. There are a couple games that only pay X number of spots, but still want Y number of athletes. There was a popular game that utilized that format this year and a number of Pros decided not to go. Personally, I'd much rather see all the athletes get close to the same money. ------------- |

Thanks. There is probably a lot to that. Winning is one thing, but money is another. The way I see it, by paying per event it helps the athlete who excels at one event. If they get a 1st place finish, but overall 5th place they make a little more. If you want to, in confidence email me and give me some idea of what amounts you have seen at other games it would be cool. Or if any of the pro's that come to Maine want to let me know where we stand that would be cool too. Leroy ------------- Leroy McDonough |
