You're a fan of the flatter structure then? MO'D: Definitely SB, it just makes more sense. There will be less expenses needed as there will be fewer qualifying matches to play which means more tournaments, which means more chances to make money. If the rankings are going to be based on a money list it's essential that flat structures are adopted, otherwise the current system where you can win two matches and earn nothing but if you are higher up the list you can win 3k just for turning up will make the whole thing very unfair. SB: I think it's very unfair that professional players can win matches and leave tournaments pennyless, even out of pocket. MO'D: It's a profession and we are professionals, in what other job can you turn up, do a job and not get paid? It makes no sense. It's such a high standard that you should be rewarded, even if it just covers your expenses. SB: How's the practice regime going? MO'D: I now have a Star table of my own at a club in Watford thanks to one of my long term sponsors, I just need to get there a bit more often! I still work to pay the bills but hoping that very soon I can free up a bit more time to put more hours in. That said, my game is in good shape, if I look after that side of things the money side looks after itself. I have self-belief
