Ask Chuck Kennedy

As I see on the Tour Event Report, the PDGA fee, greens fees, series and regional fees can be deducted to calculate Net Entry Fees. Is it permittable for a TD to reduce Payout by any of the following fees/costs:

a. sanctioning fee
b. insurance
c. event management fee
d. am player package
e. park permits
f. any other fees (lunch)

I'm trying to clarify when payout of 85%, 100%, or 110% is required, what that percentage is calculated against. Is it simply Gross Entry Fees - permittable fees + plus added cash = payout?
