Late Request for a Rules Change

Post by lichtman » Mon Dec 25, 2006 10:43 am

I've been thinking about this one for a few years now, but for some reason I've waited until today to mention it.

I think that the prize money distribution for the top 4 is patently unfair. I believe that the "champion" gets an unreasonably high % of the prize money, when we all know that it is much harder to finish in places 2-4 than first place.

Greg -- how about $40k for the "champion" and $39k and $21k for the guys who do the real work and finish 2nd or 3rd?

It's not a deal-breaker for me, but I think it just makes the prize distribution a little more "fair" without overcompensating the "champion".

Lee: Speaking as a person that finished 4th Overall last season and cashing an additonal check for $2,500 I can understand your stance.

However, being in the hunt for a payday like $100,000 is what drives me to play this game. Sure, I felt like I deserved a bit more at the end last year but it was worth the shot at 100K. I wouldn't change a thing. Just my 2 cents - but an interesting topic.

I was just angling for some extra dough when it became clear that #1 was out of reach.

I'm pretty sure that reason is that you are going to finish 2nd or 3rd in the NFFC. :rolleyes:

Great accomplishment, but be grateful for what you get.
