In Response To: shouuld there be more payouts in the ABT (Bob Koca)

I believe that most bridge tournaments have low entry fees which are 100% rakes - no prizes. Someone who actually plays bridge can correct me if that's wrong. Chess tournaments generally have lower entries and lower prizes than Backgammon. I believe that the percentage of cashing places to total players is lower in Chess. However, what happens in practice is that (for example) you may have ten players tied for the final prize place and all of them get something. So, in practice it may be a similar magnitude to Backgammon.
