AMs pay in cash and get payout in plastic at (or above) retail value. Organizers don't (or shouldn't) pay retail value for that plastic.

So, relatively speaking, Pros "cost" the event more than AMs.

They make 15% of our payout at every event!

Also why does it matter that Ams have to pay retail when getting paid out? I always hear how TDs skim off of the AMs but how are they ripping you off if you are paying exactly what you would at any retailer? Ams get too much plastic as it is and I am glad to see more Tds going for reduced fees with everyone getting 100% payout no matter if you took 1st or last.

Now if you win you get an awesome personalized trophy but at least this discourages people hanging around in thier division until they get bumped.


This isn't the 1st time we have heard the pros cost more but we also pay more in membership and this may be misguided but how many other orgs allow AMs to participate in Professionally sanctioned events?

Don't think I am for disallowing them just playing DA.
