Players are financially incentivized to play for a decisive result. A win is worth 3 shares of the prize pot versus 1 share for a draw. 0 shares awarded for a loss.
Players are also financially incentivized to register additional clones as the average entry fee goes down as more clones of a player are signed up to play.
In this format, every game counts toward winning prize money!
The only way you end up receiving no money back is if you lose all 3 games! Otherwise, you will have earned some shares and win a commensurate portion of the pot!
95% of the pot returned as prizes to the players after the club takes its cut of $150! The remaining 5% goes toward paying for rating fees and restocking pens and scoresheets.

A new, exciting, innovative tournament from the DCC. Original idea by Kevin Seidler, developed by Brian Wall and Chris Peterson. Every entrant registers as himself but can also register up to two "clones”, with a maximum of three entries. No one plays themselves. Clones play simultaneously, so each round a player with two clones will get three pairings. All games are rated as normal. Since byes do not count toward money, any number of byes in any round is allowed. Normal score keeping rules apply except players with clones may stop keeping score when under 10 minutes if they have multiple games going on. A clone may get help from another person to continue keeping score.
