Actually the advertisement could be read either way, thus should have been more exact, but now we know.

I love any post that Don is involved with just to get another view, although I agree 50/50 usually. I for one agree that this would have been more effective if it was announced much earlier to allow teams not already going time to plan. That is what the extra purse is intended to do, bring out teams that weren't already planning to come, but on a holiday weekend most already have other plans.

For me though, part of the challenge is to compete with the deep pockets and beat them with much less, that is fun! That is part of this sport, has always been, and will always be.
