Who opened up this can of worms again? 
I think it's funny the other active thread today is how much people pay for a game of pinball. Looks like it's just a dollar.

Quoted from ifpapinball:You can absolutely due this option if you want. You are correct that you can't have your cake and eat it too, so you would only submit the results based on those that put money in the fishbowl. The WPPR points calculated would be based strictly on the names from that list.
I don't remember this as an option from the previous discussion. Do you get the points for the position in which you finished overall, or after netting out the non-IFPA players.
If it's the latter, then it seems like a problem. I could finish 5th and get 1st place points if I paid my $1.
Quoted from Frax:There's also a bit of an ethical quandary IMO from TDs that play in their own large tournaments, for several reasons.
Like what? I like having a second TD to make calls where the primary TD is involved, but other than that what’s the issue?
Frax - I get it but those are logistical concerns not ethical ones. That’s why I was confused at first.
I run our weekly league and when it is at my house my scores are always lower due to the distractions.
I’ve also got my annual YE points grab tourney next week. 24 people at my house. Lots of work but having backup TD and tech along with match play fire scores takes a lot of hassle out of the day.
As far as the $1 question, if you play in one of my tournaments you will pay it and will be recorded. I’m not taking time to manage any scrubs. 
Quoted from Whysnow:Allowing someone to play and just not pay the $1/ not be counted takes absolutely NO extra work
It does for me. I use matchplay for my tournaments and it creates my file automatically. I’d have to change it to remove non payers.
Is it a lot of work? No.
Is a dollar a lot of money? No.
I’m not doing because of the work, it’s the principle.
Both arguments sound ridiculous don’t they?
