This would seem to take some of the burden off smaller teams and share costs out more evenly amongst everybody playing at a tournament. I suppose the downside is that this may not accurately reflect pitch time versus cash paid on an individual basis, but to be honest I'm not entirely convinced thats how the players on the top teams view events such as the tour. Can anybody comment on the pros and cons of such a fee system? Pete Connor
