Subject: Prize Money for 2003 Tournament

I think the entrance fee of $50 will be firmly established, and the prize money will be distributed as follows:

1st Prize: 50% of all monies received
2nd Prize: 25% of all monies received

Brilliancy Prize: The game judged to be the best of the tournament will receive 10% of the prize money.

The other 15% will go to the Federation.

What will this mean in terms of $$$

10 entrants
1st = $250
2nd = $125
Brillancy = $50

20 entrants
1st = $500
2nd = $250
Brillancy = $100

40 entrants
1st = $1000
2nd = $500
Brillancy = $200

100 entrants
1st = $2500
2nd = $1250
Brillancy = $500

Remember I will sit out of this event and just direct the tournament. I think there is no reason to believe we would have fewer than 100 participants if this event is announced widely across the various websites. I am hoping for about 200 actually. That would make things very interesting!
