UNLIMITED PRIZE MONEY
The Tournament of Riches has unlimited
prize money. Monthly Round 1 winners get $35 each. Round 2 winners
get $175, Round 3 winners get $1,000 each and Round 4 winners get $5,000
apiece. You can win several of each prize up to a total of $25,000
per household. One out of every 6 players wins, so you don't need
a top score to win. Every player who completes the tournament is
guaranteed to win at least $1000.
The Tournament of Riches has paid more prize money than any other
puzzle contest, anywhere in the world, in the past 50 years.
The newer One on One puzzle contest also
has unlimited prize money. Prizes grow from $18 in Round 1 up to
$66,500 in Round 14. On every puzzle half of the players will win,
so you don't need a top score. We expect that most players will win
10 or more cash prizes ranging from $18 up to $66,500 each.

STAY SHARP
Solving puzzles is an excellent way to keep your mind active and
sharp. Studies show that people who solve puzzles in their later years
live longer and have better health. Puzzles, especially puzzle contests,
make a loving and caring gift to an older person whose physical abilities
may be declining.

PRACTICE
Skill comes with practice. Most people need several months before
they start winning. Keep at it. Try a wide variety of puzzles so that
you find out which ones you do best. Often people are surprised that the
puzzles which seem the hardest are the ones where they are most successful.
And remember, harder puzzles will have fewer ties, so they will have the
biggest prize shares.
Don't get discouraged if you don't win the first few times you play.
Nobody simply picks up a violin for the first time and starts playing
Mozart. Nobody decides one fine day that they would like to try running,
and then goes out and runs a marathon that same day. The key to playing
music, to running races, and to winning contests is practice.

GET STARTED
The hardest part of doing puzzles is getting started. People who have
never tried puzzle contests may think it's too hard, they can't do it,
they won't win. Those are just excuses for not trying.
The only way to get started is to get started.
Take a sheet of paper, and write down a solution. Any solution.
Then set to work improving it. Soon you will achieve a dramatic
increase in your score. You're doing it! You're solving the puzzle!
With practice, it will get easier and easier. You will get better
and better scores in less and less time. Soon, winning will become a
habit. Winning will be routine.
