“Give credit where credit is due”
This past weekend BLWB held their 4th tournament of the year. It was also FP’s second. The turnout for both tournaments was small. FP drew 13 teams where BLWB only drew 9 teams. The most notable difference, was in the prize money awarded. FP paid out $500 to 1st, while BLWB gave away a remarkable $1300 to the top 3 teams.
It is truly a credit to Nick and Jared that despite being a new format, they are willing to go deep into their own pockets to ensure each event, regardless of turnout, lives up to the hype which promoted it. This format continues to prove it is an up and comer and ready to challenge all other formats for player appreciation.
Couldn’t agree with you more. This is not the first time that Benas and Euro J-Rod have paid out more for a tournament than it took in. We really have to work to get those numbers up, however.
I can confidently say that there is no wiffle tournament series in New England that returns such a high percentage of entry fees in prize money.
