I doubt it will do much in terms of increased fees as the serious players all play for tour points regardless. And, I would not have a problem if the additional fees went into the NHC purse. I do have a major problem if the entry fees are taken from the players to fund the day to day payroll of the NTRA.

paul-

do any of the top tournament players have sponsors? i know in poker that none of the premier players ever pays an entry fee if they don't want to. they sell their services for a percentage of any winnings.

do you know if any of that is happening on your circut?

No, the prize pools just aren't big enough at this point. There are a number of us who do have partners that we split a percentage of costs/winnings with, but no outright sponsors.
