New Prize Allocation Format Trial

Posted on: 14 July


Competition Prizemoney Allocations – July Trial 

The allocation of competition prizemoney has been a subject of discussion at various times throughout the past membership year.  We have worked with Links Ladies in recent times to introduce some changes.  In July, on a trial basis, we will be adjusting prizemoney allocations in Men’s and Medley competitions. Feedback will be gathered and discussed at the next MAC Meeting on Tuesday 1st August.  

Men’s Saturday competitions will also offer at least 1st, 2nd & 3rd place prize allocations in each Grade.

Additionally, in all Men’s and Medley competitions Ball Rundown prizemoney will increase from $5 to $12, or ‘money back’ ($15 for Monthly Medal).
