I used to play in it but haven't in the last few years. There were several events before and after the tournament run by guys that participated in the WA and the winners of these events walked away with serous cash. Now the WA has forced their way into those before and after events for their own profits and taking a cut of the $. This has ticked off many of the people that played in these events and they don't plan to return after this year. The WA used to get 6-7000 people a year, with awesome prizes. Now they are struggling to break 3000 and there are far less prizes available.

Yeah Mongo that's not the first time I've heard that. They are starting 3 new divisions this year trying to get more people to come back. If I play it will be my first time playing. I'm waiting for the NGT announcement tomorrow before I decide. I can't do both.

You won't win more money at the NGT, but you'll lose less.
