I was just reading the discussion topic on the TOC...including talk about entry fees and have a thought to add to my one above...

Use the "satellite" to build up (or even pay for) the TOC prize money. There are lots of ways to slice & dice the satellite money and winning seat, but the bottom line is you can build the TOC pot this way without the players paying for it all (isn't that how many TOC's work...some one else is "sponsoring" much of the prize money).

The only "drawback" I see is someone's complaint/concern that the organizers of the TOC have padding their own wallets this way. I don't see it that way and this isn't really any different than any other satellite system works.
