Money talk
editThis may sound a little pedantic, but I was surprised to see the prize money quoted in £GBP; for an event held in Las Vegas, surely the legal currency would be $USD? One of the references give a full breakdown of prizes in £GBP on a British news site, which makes sense for a UK audience, but the top prize is also quoted in $USD on a Las Vegas news site. Would it not make more sense to quote the latter? I very much doubt many Nevada banks would have had £30,000 available to hand over... ProfessorDeYaffle (talk) 15:20, 6 August 2020 (UTC)
- @ProfessorDeYaffle: The PDC's official website has the prize money in pound sterling for it currently uses that currency for its tournaments, including this one, since it is based in the UK. The source that has in USD only goes up to the semi-finals so I'm not sure if it should be included, MWright96 (talk) 16:28, 6 August 2020 (UTC)
- That does make sense - thanks for explaining!ProfessorDeYaffle (talk) 10:51, 7 August 2020 (UTC)
