It is a dissapointing amount but not unexpected, Alexandra Park telegraphed a final at that level in the original press releases regarding the joint series, and I think no one is unaware now as to the state of the industries finances.

Hopefully as you say Steve a sponsor will step up but I'm wondering if the 3 club agreement poses any difficulties with that. Regardless of the prizemoney it is our premier brand event and as Steve said everyone needs to get behind it.

I've little doubt that the circumstances surrounding the prizemoney levels of the WA Inter Dominions were unique and it is unfair to draw direct comparisons between the two ID series.
