So i was thinking would you pay to play a tournament in ET? with the money put in going to the prize purse to pay the top 3,4,5? . This would obviously work better for an opencup level as far more teams would be interested. unless people paid more to compensate for less teams.
Hypotheticaly if 200 teams entered the tournament which was around the number that entered the last OC the prize purse would then be £2000.
£1100 for first
£600 for second
£300 for third
something along those lines, obviously amounts and teams would far differ.
£10 a team to enter the tournament / 5 = £2 each.
Would you pay £2 each for an OC level tournament? or would you want to pay more?, pay less? or be outraged at the idea of paying?
Would you want to do this at EC level, again would you pay more? pay less? or be outraged at the idea of paying?
It just got me thinking since many tournaments in all aspects you pay a small fee to enter them which are very popular. Would there be a demand to do this online?
*Discuss*

but you can not expect the same numbers of teams enter for a cup with entry fee
only the top ~ 20 are interested since the best 10 have a chance of winning back the money and the others want to increase their reputation by playing or maybe a few want to support the competition
I've thought about hosting something alike once aswell but as I can not do it on long term and regularly I figured it'd be a waste of time =)
Trying to arrange this publically would be fun, just for a couple tens of euros maybe: just announce a tournament with a € buy-in, open for any team to enter - there wouldn't be many teams but the lineups would be phenomenal haha
lower teams in EC pay to play there just giving their money to one of 3 teams :>.
Maybe a cf-lottery instead?
Is it legal
:DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
so i guess the entry requirements would be a debit/credit card and a paypal acount.
made me laugh :D
if you use money e.g. from your birthday, parents gta agree (at least in ger)
Why do you need money as motivation to actually get people to play ET? I play ET because I like the game, so do these so called EC skillers only play for prizes?
because all other games is hyped @ multiplayer(mean cs,css,cod4,starcraft,etc) because you can win shitloads of money with them
so why et should be different?
tells something that ppl aint ready to pay fees like that themselves eventhough it was only small amount of money for fun tournament
Sounds nice but doesn't make sense as you said it
