East Coast has 50+ players for free tourneys and 15+ players for tier based premium tourneys. We have very little problems with players playing out of tier and if so they are immediately booted and the top players scramble to take the credits and give back to those that should have won. It work out well....
I'm not sure why some owners feel "entitled" to free credits or balls for their clubs. If WGT wants to start some sort of program to give out credits I'd gladly accept them but to form a petition because those that "own" CC's feel like they are entitled to free stuff due to the time and effort they put into their club is rediculous... sorry guys
