Quoted from chuckwurt:

Yes. Unless you make the winners pay the fee or if it's a free tourney, TD pays. That's what I plan to do.

Which amounts to the winner paying for additional WPPR points....

I still don't understand why the IFPA can't just institute an admin fee. Seems like the easiest way to go. I don't think anyone would have a problem forking over a few bucks each year if they wanted to be included in the rankings. Josh can do whatever he wants with that dough... add it to prize pools, donate it to some cause, buy a gold grill, spend it on hookers and blow.... Nobody gives a shit, as long as he continues to provide this service.

Quoted from Baiter:

This is a good point, but keep in mind the WPPR system is not designed for all competitive players. Think of it as a system for pro player rankings rather than amateurs.

"Pro" pinball players.... that always cracks me up. How many people out there claim playing pinball as their profession? I think I may have met one once... he lived in a cardboard box and smelled pretty bad! If playing with those dudes is what WPPR points is all about, you can count me out.

I would like to propose a nickel per ball plunge tax. We can pass a jar around. Maybe we can put a sad picture of Josh on it....
