Piggy-backing off the thread from the lounge, would any of you participate in a pay-for-entrance tournament in the fed? (Obviously with the money being redistributed to the winner and runner-ups.)

What about a tournament with a small financial reward -- Let's say $10

Do you think you'd enter that?

Guarantee you no one would pay to enter...they'd enter to get a reward, though.

I've seen some other fed do that, but I wouldn't bother really...

IDK. People spend $50+ all the time to enter into Fantasy Football. I'd think I could find some people to enter for $2.

Anyways, it wasn't a real thought. I was just curious.

Eh, that's more main stream really. I bet you'd get interest if it was an RP fed, as it's more popular.

If entry was $2 I'd totally be down for that.

Hell, I'd consider joining something like that. I think it'd be cooler to take the money put in for entry and use it to get some kind of a small trophy, then mail it to the winner.

I do recall something like King Of The Cage(?) I entered with IATO, and of course noshowed in the first round but they were offering 50 aussie dollars or something to the winner, plus it drew guys from all nooks and crannies of the globe who play our little game.

The one key issue is dealing with addresses. Seems weird.

Which is why doing everything through PayPal would be better IMO

I would do it.

I've always seen the problem with this being that e-fedding is very opinion based.  So some people get a bit touchy when they do something they basically paid for and are told it isn't good enough.

Nope.

This is a hobby. The minute money is introduced is when it becomes something else. Something that could potentially get a little ugly.

It would probably be better if there was just a small prize rather than a bigger prize from the buy ins.

I wouldn't trust anyone here with my card details/address

It wouldn't be required or even part of canon in the fed.

I wouldn't enter even if it was 50 pence entry fee...

If it was a charity type deal (I don't know, a known fedder was ill or something) I may consider it.
Otherwise it's a no-go for me on pay2play.

If you pay two bucks to enter and bitch about losing two bucks then you know you broke as shit.

I don't know man, my hobbies generally involve spending money.
