Man this is a great incentive to ladder. I remember participating in some of the first ascweeklys and they were tons of fun.
Hoping this will attract more people.

I heavily heavily agree with Anihc, when he says, It should be Masters/GM >>> Diamond > Gold/Platinum > Silver/Bronze. Something like $200 - $30 - $10 - $5. Giving 50 dollars to lower league winners and giving 50 dollars to the diamond, and only 100 to the masters division is really not fair. 200-30-10-5 is actually a very nice set up. Its not really a problem about smurfing, but more of a problem about the skill level. People from Bronze to plat winning 50 bucks, where a decent or even high masters player will win almost nothing in their master-grandmaster tournament, since they may not be able to compete against the grandmasters. The skill level of the masters is clearly better than a bronze to plat, and 50 bucks is quite a bit of money to be giving to very low league players.

Yes, it is good to encourage players of all leagues to join tournaments, and I'm not trying to discriminate other leagues, but its a bit unfair, that a casual low level player can get more money from the prize than say, a semi competitive, or even high level master player who can't win/2nd/3rd/4th place the super competitive master-gm tournament.

Unfortunately this weeks tournaments are full for Bronze/Silver, Gold/Plat, and Diamond. In the weeks to come, all of the brackets will be expanded to 128 and 256 so it should be a less of an issue then.
You can only win the game when you understand that it is a game.

I'm signed up for the 28th master/GM tourney

P.S. Is it just me or does the Playhem website seem laggy on certain pages?

Yeah it's super laggy.
Question: How do we check in day of?
On playhems site it says registration and check in but I just don't see anything for checking in quite yet. Will the website change when we get a little closer to night of the tournament?
Thanks.

Thanks for responding to community feedback. 2 things now:

1. Where did that extra $100 go now?

2. $50 for diamond is still too much. It's kinda weird that you're putting such a big prize pool only for 1 mid-tier league. It's completely unfair to low masters players. I'm not even asking you to give it all to Masters, you can split it for an hour of coaching for the bronze/silver league and an hour of coaching for the diamond tier. Maybe you can keep a $5-10 prize pool for diamond just because you previously had a $5 prize for it.

Gotta agree with him again ^

Very good changes to the prize pools, but even high masters players might not be able to ever cash in on the master-gm tournament, while diamond players could recieve 50 dollars. 10-15$ + coaching would be a realistic prize for diamond.

Amazing tournament you guys have running here, and I plan to participate in the Master-GM tournaments soon!

The remaining $100 will be put into consistent prize pools for pro-gamer tournaments and show matches.

Nothing with the current prizes is set in stone. Things are being continually fleshed out as time goes on, but for now, this seems like the best solution.

Exactly what DarkenedLite said, sorry I didn't add that to the OP!

the 100$ will be going to a weekly showmatch, so now we are truly supporting the entire community from bronze to grandmasters to pro-gamers every single week.

Also as Darkened said, the distribution is not set in stone, we also feel that Diamond is a little high - the issue is lowering it and then making up for it with some kind of other prize, like more coaching perhaps but we need to lock down that deal first. That is very close to happening, so we will likely be looking at a change to diamond next week

Again, thank you everyone SO much for your comments, your overwhelming amount of emails etc. It warms my heart that you guys care so much, and it makes everything worth it!

You guys could put some of the diamond tourney into a 2v2 tourney once a week open to all skill levels, or just the lower ones, like 50/50 split in cash between the two. Or you could put 25 into a game of the week or something. Or use it to raffle to viewers. Just a few ideas, dunno how other people feel about them.
say you were born into a jungle indian tribe where food was scarce...would you run around from teepee to teepee stealing meat scraps after a day lazying around doing nothing except warming urself by a fire that you didn't even make yourself? -rekrul

There are some limitations with the Playhem system and for that reason it was restricted to 64 sign-ups this week, but that is planned to change next week and beyond, the goal being to open up entry for 128 and possibly 256 man brackets in every level of play.
