Pat and Matthew - thanks for your responses.
Pat, yes I understand the price may be off-putting for some.
I was basing it on a similarish price to the Scottish and other nine-round events. I guess the perk here would be that in this you would be more likely to win a prize - for example if you or I entered any other nine round international open the chance of us winning prize money for finishing in the top five are usually very very slim and grading prizes are usually not much more than entry and only if you win it outright! Here 3/10 players win a prize in Group B and 4/20 in Group C and its a lot more realistic you or I could win something in these events than say winning the Scottish champs
So I guess what I'm trying to say is the idea was to make it a competitive price with a more realistic chance of a prize... if you get my drift
But as I said thanks for the feedback!
