Name and shame?
It's acceptable in that if you think it's a rip-off then just don't play. Did they make the payout clear before the tournament started?

If event is weekly or monthly thing with a leaderboard/ticket bonus etc holding back 1/3 of funds OK..


Was there any Reg.. fee????

No way is 1/3 OK. Any weekly thing should be more like 10% as not to penalise the non-regulars. 30-35% is just ridiculous.

300 towards irish open sat - its a league thingy
50 includes reg so 200 from 1800 aint too bad
