I do take on board what you are saying Steven. I have made adjustments already to be more inclusive by changing from only 2 or 3 2100 players participating to all 2100 and titled 2000 players being able to play. I think I may offer 2 or 3 places to juniors in future Championships.
With regards to the prize funds, these are based on the numbers that enter each section. The Championship benifits from both the Championship Bonus and requiring fewer numbers to reach the same prizes as the U2200, U1800 and U1400 sections. This means that if 4/4 is scored in the top section the prize fund will be £450, which is more than the U1800 which currently stands at £300. It is also only £75 shy of the £525 on offer in the U2200 and U1400 with only 8 competitors, with 4 more players the Championship would have surpassed both.
