Art, You make great points.
You got me to read the USBGF streaming policy . I hope to be proved wrong, but to my understanding the streamers do not get paid other than maybe covering baggage fees for equipment (which is part of operational costs). Looking at bullets #2 and #3, the streamer should be compensated by either the TD, or the USBGF. I ask from someone that knows better to tell me that I am wrong and the streamers assigned by the USBGF are compensated.
To my understanding this isn't the case and the main reason for bringing this subject for discussion is awareness. I believe that with this discussion, I achieve that to some extent.
Moreover, as David Rennie got to answer Bob Koca ahead of me and pointed correctly, the players being streamed benefit a lot from it, some more and some less.
My proposal was related to my second goal - Making sure that they are compensated for their terrific job. I proposed an alternative way with the assumption that the money raised for streaming is used for other expenses than compensating the streamers. If I am wrong or the USBGF would compensate the streamers (note that $50 a day as stated in the policy is more or less equivalent to my proposed waiving of intermediate entry fee) then my target is achieved and my proposal becomes irrelevant.
