I am not saying I agree with having three entry categories, but the *reason* they have an "emerging" category is for people who aren't selling very many units. It is an attempt, within the current system, to avoid drowning these people with expenses. If I begin selling my program, I have to deal with paying entry fees forever, plus I have to forego any free plane tickets or hotels that happen to crop up. This might cause someone to have second thoughts about selling their program, or push them out of the tournaments if they don't sell many units. bruce
