In Response To: shouuld there be more payouts in the ABT (David Rockwell)

I used to play (bridge), and all the events I played in had entry fees, which was 100% rake most of the time - occasionally there would be a small prize or an engraved trophy or something, but the entry was solely to cover expenses. This was both at the local club level and national competition. Actually, the prizes at the national level were quite nice I thought - crystal glasses engraved - but, I liked them!!

When I made the transition over to BG from Bridge, I was quite taken aback at the predominance of $s to play. I was so used to playing for prestige in Bridge that it was quite a strange jump for me. Not that it was unappealing at all. However, I would still play Bridge for prestige, and BG for money. I don't know why that is, but maybe because I haven't played Bridge for money - I dont know.
