I am against cash prizes being awarded. Recently prices to play have been raised. In addition I live in a state that requires tax to be collected on my purchases. Why not eliminate the cash awards and apply the awards to keeping costs down?

OK shoot me!

Because it's not about you.
It's about BBO making the most $$$

If you don't like tournaments that award cash prizes, no one is forcing you to do so.

they seem to be pretty friendly, doesnt 80% go back to the field...so its pretty easy to get
a free play...takes about 53% to do so.

BB$ is not cash. You cannot pay your bills with it, sell it, transfer it, or withdraw it to your credit card.

That said, the fact that some games pay back part of their own entry fees to the winners in BB$ rewards is completely self-contained, doesn't impact what happens with ACBL, virtual clubs or other types of games that run on bbo.
