My condolences and complete understanding for your frustration. You and your events will be missed.

Why not propose to ALL tournament directors and tournament organizations the following:

Whatever the stated entry fee, every sanctioned tournament shall have a 20 percent penalty for entries received less than 30 days before the event. This will be added money to the prize money and there will be no rake to the developer...it will go completely to the players.

If EVERY tournament, everywhere in the world does this, there will be no resentment against any particular tournament director or organizer; tournament planning will be better; there will be more prize money; and more people will make their plans farther in advance and commit to come, and that could result in greater participation. (Yes, I know, some last-minute people might choose not to come because of the 20 percent, but that's a small number considering all the other costs involved in attending an event.)
