Svilo wrote: [S]ponsors of backgammon are nowhere to be seen ... Untill sponsors come to fill the prize fund, the only way to keep the ratio is TO INCREASE entry fees or decrease travel, hotel etc.

With regard to expenses, TD's can arrange their events at affordable and easy-to reach venues. With regard to entry fee, I gather that

$525 entry fee returning 90% = $472.50 with rake 10% = $52.50

would be more attractive to Svilo than

$350 entry fee returning 85% = $297.50 with rake 15% = $52.50
