[QUOTE="Sean DonCarlos, post: 52112, member: 152"] It's $20 for an A Division entry, $15 for a B Division entry, and $10 for a C Division entry. Each entry lets you play 5 games that you pick from a set of 10 to 12 machines designation for your division. But you have to count all 5 scores on that entry or count none of them. If you did well on tables B, C and E on entry #1, and then did better on tables A, C and D on entry #2, you can't mix the scores from the two entries. Each entry is ranked on its own merits. (For the complete details, see the [URL=http://papa.org/papa16/rules.php#III][B]PAPA 16 rules[/B][/URL].) So a less skilled and less consistent player (such as myself) would be highly unlikely to find himself on top of A Division even if he were provided an infinite bankroll, as it is extremely unlikely that he would play 5 qualifying-worthy games in a row. So the PAPA system rewards consistent above-average play even if you don't necessarily blow the coin door off any of the machines, whereas the current FarSight system rewards persistent play of each table in turn until you achieve a "miracle" game.
