Encouraging participation when the same top players tend to win

[WWJ]

In Seattle with so many A list players, people actively avoiding events because they don’t feel they’re good enough to qualify is a fairly common thing to hear

People not entering events because they don’t think they’re good enough to qualify is possibly the saddest thing I’ve heard.

What are these people wanting to get out entering a competition?

1. • Is it WPPR points, which they don’t feel their good enough to get against top players?
2. • Is it prize money, which they don’t feel their good enough to get against top players?
3. • Is it to win, which they don’t feel their good enough to get against top players?
4. • Is it to compete against others and enjoy the social aspect of playing against other people?

If it’s only about 1-3, they need to take a look at themselves IMHO.
