I'm not positive it's accurate, but if you go tohttp://www.papa.org/papa10/live/topA.html
and add up the number of plays for each game and divide the total by 5
(for 5 games per entry) that's where I got my numbers from.

Ah, good idea, but this only includes the entries that players
submitted. It was also possible to "void" an entry at any time, then
no games would be recorded. Voiding is rarer in C division (I think)
but is fairly common in A Division. Perhaps 30-40% of entries in A
get voided.

A more accurate count for the number of entries can be found by
looking for the highest number in the "Entry #" column on the overall
rankings page. Remove the leading digit, and the number of entries
will be slightly higher than that.

Or, we could just ask the organizers to give us the info ;)

Count me in as a supporter of paying the top 16, but I agree that the
payouts need to be reasonably significant to avoid scoffing. The old
IFPA payouts were terrible in this way.
