I am not pointing fingers here. I thank you Matt for the reminder for all of us.

Alright here we go................. and where to start........ Last year there were 25 people with 8 Aces paying out about $15 for an Ace. Take away their $5 entry they made $10 each. I also gave those that got 2 Aces a Nati shirt. If you come to Attack on Winton to make some cash I believe you are barking up the wrong tree. This Fun Filled event is not meant as a money maker for anyone including The Nati. It's all about the dream that every hole at Winton is in Ace run.
On to this years payout. $7 turned into a $52 voucher for The Nati. No matter how you I got paid I would be elated. If Trapp would have been the only one to get an ace, I'm pretty sure he wouldn't get made over $156 Nati voucher. That would cover his entry fee for all 3 of the Big 3 events. Potentially bringing him triple that amount. The payout this year was my idea and I know that not everyone needs disc golf gear, that's why I gave the option of using it towards a Nati Event. I also didn't really plan on only 3 aces being hit.
I'm sorry if you don't agree with how i did the payouts. If you want the cash that bad sell the voucher to someone else. Problem solved.

I don't think that there is any reason to apoligize. Thanks for marketing, putting time in and running an event. I didn't attend but it's appreciated in my opinion. Also, when was the last time someone who tried to run a tournament or event wasn't called a thief, or crook. I have yet to see an event with someone not throwing the crook card out? It's par for the disc golf world.

I in no way was calling out the way you decided to "pay out" for the people who did get aces. If that is the way it was taken I apologize, and that is between you guys and Mike. I also do appreciate you running events, and the support The Nati provides for disc golf in cincy.
However, how hard is it to post all of the information for an event? It must not be that hard or time consuming If Holly, Dan, CCS, and other events can do it. If The Nati would just provide this one courtesy to players, negative reactions would not happen after the events.

I think foreknowledge (great disc golf word, eh?) is the only real issue here. Theft is an accusation not to be bandied about lightly. When stating a complaint there is no need to get personal. Who aced, BTW?
