I haven't played the tough shot format in doubles but it seems to be popular. The added cash sounds nice but I really wonder how much that effects players decision on whether or not they play in a tournament. I've always played events because of the course and could care less about player packages or payouts. I've always thought that since ams make up 60% to 65% of most tournament fields, TD's should boost their payout instead of the pros, especially if filling the event is the main concern. (but that's just me). Glad your doing it and hope to make it. I'm sure what ever format you go with will be a success based on the quality of the course.
