Matt. It's exactly the same as the very successful Herts amateur events.
The money is relative. As I said before; I was given no chance at all when I won one of those. I gave myself little hope. However a bit of determination and self belief and I won. That was against some top players. If you don't challenge yourself and play in small priced comps you will never improve.
I played in a £200 a man comp to. I lost it but the buzz was great.
The question you should be asking is; "do I want to try?"
Are you saying it's impossible for you to beat Michael?
The prize money should never feed a plate event. Money should go to the winners. Plates are for those who wish to continue playing in a sepetate additional tournament. Neil Toms does it exactly the same.
If it's expensive to you, ask yourself how many £25 comps you enter a year? It's a one off with unique pressure worth every penny, win or lose!

If the money is alot, you could always run a couple of qualifiers, £5 in 8 players, winner gets a spot, r/up gets £15?

Ian, apologies if that last post came over a bit harsh.
I'm not saying that I can't beat any of those guys listed on a given day, I just need to be realistic about my chances, hence questions surrounding prize money further down the rounds. Of course I wish to play the top guys to challenge myself, it was my main reason for joining the Moon a few seasons back. With all due respect to your winning the Herts tour, you are a considerably better player than me.
It's not a case of thinking how many £25's I've spent on pool competitions, it's how many £25's I can afford to lose/spend without the prospect of return.

Although we now have 32 names, it's rare all those named will all be able to play.
Please e-mail me if you wish to be added as a reserve?
There is also the option to increase numbers? Hence more prize money...
Please start sending entry fees!
