In Response To: Amazing Coincidence! (Phil Simborg)

If the entry is lowered by 40% like you propose for the masters, then how many more players will participate?

How have you validated that the field will increase by as much as you anticipate?

If the extra players are traveling in order to come to the tournament, then how much will the 200$ rebate count in their overall budget for the tournament?

How will traveling players feel if they cash but still come away cash-negative because the prizes have been diluted?
