Money added- Not GTD

How about some tournaments which instead of having money guranteed have money added. For example say the average Primo gets 500 players, thats 500 * 30, = 15k. Which means there is little money actually GTD. Instead if Sky add about 5k. Thats 500 * 30 (15k) + (5k) = 20k, so there is still value in playing the tournament.

    Yessss, this happened in the TKO afterparty the other day, think it definately attracted more runners than it normally would. This is on a lower scale obv, but wud get the same interest at higher levels/buy ins. 

    Also, more/bigger GTD tournys between 5 and 7, and through the day on weekends :)

    This would make no sense on a business sense. If they carry on as they are, in your example. Sky make 500 * 3 (rake) = 1.5k, If they were to add 5k, they would need 5000 / 3 = 1666 players in the tourny to break even. So why would they ever want to run a tournament that loses them money. Makes no sense. They are only here for our cash.
