One of the best Am Payouts ever?

The Southern National Am championship was this past weekend and had a payout of over $31,500 (including a $124 players pack for every player)

Results (and payout) - http://www.sndg.org/stats/event.php/986

All for a $50 entry

of course a year of tournaments that raise money for the event helps a little bit. The SN has a true Players Championship.

Oh, I came home with 21 discs, 5 in the players pack and 16 in my prize pack... for 13th place. No DX and all custom stamped.

Sort of sounds like a "fake" Am event with all that payout... ;-)

Esplain Lucy? Do you mean it's B.S. or some thing else?

[Chuck Kennedy]

Using 'amateur' and 'big payout' in the same sentence should be an oxymoron even though we know that's not uncommon in our sport.

[Will Corey]

Its somewhere in the south every year, its going to be in Memphis in 2010, but you have to be qualified (its easy, just play an event listed on the tournament schedule on www.sndg.org )

[Will Corey]

Yep, saves people a lot of money :)
