First and foremost, with everything that is going on with the El Jimador events, I wish to make it absolutely clear that there will be no more funds added to the August 25th DYP Event, as I have decided to cap it at $500.00 (extra money added to pot by Brad C and Jesse R). Yes, a bit rude, but I need some monetary responsibility during the next 2 months. We did not quite get to that point as of yet, but we soon will at any rate, so no worries. In addition, I am considering allowing others into the tournament that fall short of the 16 necessary events...but, it will be for a substantial fee that would increase based upon how much you fall short of the necessary 16. This is, by NO means, a certainty...It is simply something that was brought up to me last night that I need to discuss with others already qualified for the event.
Anyways, once again I have the attendance charts for everyone to peruse. I did make some changes to it recently in order to simplify things for myself. Of the most interest, is the color coding. Green means good to go, yellow is 1 event away, and pinks are those that still have a shot at hitting 16 events. As you can see, there are only 18 people that have a shot at being in the tournament at this time (with 8 being dependent upon making future events). This number is why someone suggested I open it up a bit for those that are just outside the margin for a fee. All that being said, these are the things that are on my mind...and all those that are color coded can expect to hear from me in the near future about opening it up a bit for a fee...or not.

Jessie...I like the idea of allowing others to play for a fee based on their attendance. I have a couple of questions. Will the extra monies they are required to pay go to the pot? Will you cap it at let's say 10 events being the min cap so if you played in nine you can't play. What would charge...say 20 bucks per event? So if ur at 15 you 20 bucks 14 would be 40 bucks...etc??? If you are going to do this I suggest you announce it ASAP as it will incentivize people to show up the next few weeks.

Very close to what I was thinking, in fact. I do not expect many to take up the extra cost, and I understand that. However, I did want to provide the option. I was thinking something more like:
16 and above pay the normal entry fee of $10.00
15 = $20.00 entry fee
14 = $30.00 entry fee
13 = $40.00 entry fee
12 to 10 = $50 entry fee
All money would go towards the event purse to be divided via our normal system. 7 to 11 teams would be 1rst 55%, 2nd 30%, and 3rd at 15%. We would need 12 or more teams to change it to paying out to 4th (50%, 25%, 15%, and 10%). I know you are aware of this payment format Brad, since it is your format that I use, but I am clarifying for others as well. If a few outliers decide to play, this could make for one hell of a purse!

Sounds good bit you will have to let everyone know. Just posting it here is not enough. Do you want me to send out a text to all the numbers I have?
