espn3 is what they call anything they show online. There is no channel.

Out of curiosity, does the money basically come from the players buying in? Seems like it is more like gambling (ie poker tournaments) than a sporting tournament. Surprised it is not running into some legal issues, unless I am not getting it. I guess there are pay to play mini tour golf events that are basically run like that too that don't seem to get in any trouble.
