Mate if you think you are getting money before Christmas then you are totally nuts. Christmas next year maybe. You can ring the TBA and tell them to use the money you won to pay for your entries next year. The TBA wants there money up front but when it comes to paying out they will hold out for ever if they could. I dont know why they could not pay out a week or 2 after the nationals
After speaking to John Dobson from TBA via email, he has said that John Coxson has a board meeting this weekend, and he will be asking when Nationals prizefund will be distributed, Prizefund's were worked out after the Masters.
