Small price money

Post by bobabu »

It would be nice if the winner of the second chance tournament would get like 50 dollars. I see the conflict which this approach creates however I believe such a small amount wouldn't lead to people dropping out intentionally. Especially if you start splitting the money between the first three players.

I think it is fine the way it is, people play 2nd chance for fun and fame
If there was prize money on it someone like Jerom, Yurashic, GUA who can realistically reach the RO16 but have no shot at getting to the RO4 might drop out early on purpose. And if you make the prize money small enough so that people wouldn't do such a thing it would be irrelevantly (is that a word?) small

This is something I considered, but it's a little bit tricky. This tournament had a couple of technically-eligible Colonels sign up which threatened to make a mockery of the entire thing until they forgot to actually schedule. The tournament is partially sustained off of the expectation that Colonel+ people are going to be reasonable and avoid signing up even if they're eligible to do so. And while we could implement a PR cap, smurf detection is simultaneously more important for 2nd Chance than for the main tournament and harder to do.

It's something we're keeping in mind though. Perhaps it'll appear next tournament, depending on how everything is going.

We're talking about a prize for 2nd Chance, not 22nd

I swear I read master sergeant special in the title but I could rise to the occasion and win the 22nd
