In Response To: Tournament Prize Money Conundrum (Timothy Chow)

Thank you Tim. I understand and appreciate your perspective on this and apologise if my words appeared harsh and over critical. However, from my experience of the BGOnline forum, I think that once a thread receives a very definitive answer, other readers are much less inclined to make a contribution for fear of appearing foolish.

In comparison I posed the same question on my timeline on facebook where the response and interest has been significantly greater with many more players involved, freely giving their own theories and takes on the problem.
