$5 to enter a tournament is a blessing, have fun paying buy-ins at tournaments for fighting games ;.;
oh man... i think i know how you feel... i remember i wanted to play in a tekken 6 tourney but i realized it wasnt worth it with the buy ins because everyone was just better than me and i didnt want to pay a buy in just to play a few minutes, maybe a few seconds. just isnt worth it
but remember, this isnt some serious tournament, its a local new york tournament where we're all chill. its a fun community and some really nice people. so buy-ins arent really necessary. i think most of us would agree 
edit: when i said "most of us would agree", i mean that most of us would agree this is just a fun tournament and its just very chill, nothing to take seriously (like a job interview)

Could the people who agree please speak up? I feel like I'm talking to one person every time this $5 buy-in thing comes up.

I've already spent countless $ into fighting game tournaments
The good thing you get from it is tournament exp (obv) and learning how to play under pressure. It helps with other personal skills too, since public speaking becomes a joke when you're used to hundreds of people screaming at you. So entering big tournaments is worth it, even if you're not that confident in getting 1st.
Edit: Buy in is fine, I don't see a reason to drop it

I'm fine with buy-ins. it's a good way to support e-sports in NYC (i'm not aware of other events here) and i would hate to see it go away.
but i do feel having to pay the play time is somewhat problematic. i mean if it's an automatic loose if my time ran out i would be sure to have all the time i need ready. buying 4 hrs and being knocked out in first round won't feel good and keep buying more time during the tournament is just an unnecessary distraction. i would suggest making the play time in the tournament free, i'm sure feeling the need to practice and play with friends plenty people will still buy time for their own use. if it's a problem, raising the buy-in won't be a bad a idea if we get to play in the tournament without worrying about play time. i don't have that big a problem with it, it's just getting a loose when my time ran out gets on my nerve a bit.

The time is pretty easy to manage. For one, it's pretty cheap and secondly you can easily log of between games/matches and if you are diligent about it it will be very inexpensive. Cybercraft reserves more than half of thier space on these days for us and during that time most of the reserved computers don't end up getting paid time on them (due to people logging off, getting eliminated etc) so really they taking in a whole lot extra from us. Anyways for them to be able to host these they have to get something out of it. If I'm not mistaken cybercraft also puts up some of the cash for the prizes.

What is wrong with the buy-in? If you cant raise $5 per month regardless of age, see me and I'll provide personal sponsorship.
|
Finally signed up, I'm like 99% sure I'm going. If something comes up though and I inform you ahead of time, is that all right? From what I've seen there are usually people on the back up list waiting to play.

Fine with buy-ins here o_o

Stake me in tourneys I'll win them all

Buy-ins are totally fine!
I mean, if you can afford $60 for SC2 and $800+ for a computer that can run it, then you can scrape together an extra $5 to support the local SC2 community.

Buyins increase the prizepool sooo much (300$+ for this tournament maybe?) at so little cost. It's already fairly cheap anyway if you buy a membership the first time.

yea as the weeks go on shit is gonna come up and a good number of people will drop -_-
also everyone should note, the start time will likely change if were going to try to fit a 64man tour into one day

If we keep doing buy-ins, I could just throw part of the hundred bucks into your account instead of the prize pool.
Or we could switch Cybercraft accounts, though mine only gets free refills if the tech guy is there. And he won't be here this time.

Not surprising that you'd be in favor of anything that increases the prizepool.
