 sigh that makes me sad.A question, if not all 64 people participate / register, is the prize pool still the same? Because only 30ish people need to register to create this current prize pool if I'm not mistaken, so I'm just wondering for that  | ||

Also I have to agree about the map pool. For the biggest tournament in Alberta I would have thought the map pool would have been more in conformity to other current tournaments, but hey always nice to see new maps. Maybe next tournament Ill come play. GL to all! | ||

(I say could have because the event is tomorrow). I mentioned to Tim that I don't think this was advertised enough and I'll bring it up with Mitch as well The prize pool remains the same regardless of entrants.

So if only 16 people joined that's $640 from registration fees. $860 is coming from your own pocket in that case? What if all 64 joined with $45 late fees? That's $2880. Where would the entire $1330 go? That's a pretty big difference in prize pool depending on number of people showing up and I think you should be more transparent about it. | ||

Why on earth does it need to be explained? Do we sit there and add up the costs of MLG and demand to know where they are making money? | ||

Oh I'm sorry, I didn't realize your tournament was as grand as MLG, my apologies. As a local organizer myself, I just thought it was important to show the players exactly how their money was being spent. But really, instead of making adjustments to people complaining, all you have done here is just brute force your decisions. Look at all the 9 pages worth of complaints, and it clearly shows in the number of people that showed up. I raised up a question, because clearly, the entire 64 players did not show up, so did the organizer magically take out some $800 and give out to the players? | ||

Also, businesses sometimes lose money while trying to make money, sometimes they come out ahead, it's called risk. This isn't a new concept. | ||
