Kevin Fradeneck Jun 22, 2014 Not sure if you got a sheet. The majority has been talking in the lot and feels it should payout 3 spots with points for 5. 50/30/20?

Yes i have heard. Im against only 3 spots paying out because i would like the newer players to at least have chance of winning some cash. Going down to 3 spots on payouts usually equates to only 5 bucks more for a win. Its easy for good players to be a little greedy and want more money. Besides the main focus should be on aces and dots anyway. Score is the secondary objective. Its not that much difference paying out that one extra spot. And changing the point awarding halfway through the season isnt a good idea either. I say the better players should stop worrying about 5 dollars and let the people that are newer to league play have a small chance to win a couple bucks.

Does anybody have any input on this topic? I mean its not a terrible idea i just feel its losing sight of the real focus of the league. Aces and dots above all. Score is just a way to win a few extra bucks and a few extra points. We have already had a decrease in the number of beginner players as opposed to last year. I would like to hear some more input however.

Tournaments pay out the top 1/3. BOBIS pays out the top 1/3. To keep the payouts to the top 3 spots does nothing to grow the league. It is a slippery slope where the people who win the most feel they will get slighted and get paid less. I say it is the opposite. They may not win every week but they will win more when they cash because more people will show up when the payouts are deeper. I see your normal 1st place payouts hover between $20 and $30. With more people attending, those payouts would be more.

That's good too Jay. Also, if this is truly an Ace Race league then why not make the pay-in-to-play $10 per person per week. Make the pay out be $5 and the Ace Pool be $5? Then you can reward those who wish to win by score the top 3 spots. People playing in an Ace league should not be rewarded because they got a better partner in random draw, they should be focused on hitting Aces.
