Killarney and Glasgow are the two big ones, and Glasgow is the tour's only stop outside Ireland. Three Dublin festivals and the IPT Final all use the Green Isle Hotel in Clondalkin, which makes it the tour's effective home room.
The tour applies the same deductions everywhere: 3 per cent of each prize pool for staff and expenses, 1 per cent for the season leaderboard. It says payouts normally reach the top 10 per cent of a field, with the tournament director free to move between 8 and 12 per cent, calculated on the whole field rather than an individual flight. Structure sheets are published as guides and may change at the director's discretion.
