Quoted from Frippertron:Everyone will see how successful/ or not implementing a fee will be after next year. Josh said this is an experiment, if it doesn't work it will be changed. It might make the tournament director's job a bit more of a logistical nightmare, but only time will tell.
Josh has also said that he doesn't care if the overall number of people registered with ifpa falls. So there is no way to measure the success of this "expirement".
Quoted from jgentry:So people are really upset about a $1 increase that goes 100% back to the state and national winners? Is it $1 per player per tourney?
If that's all it is people need to spend a little more time focusing on real problems in the world. Who really freaking cares, it's $1. If you can't afford that you couldn't afford to get to the tourney to begin with. Don't tell me its the principle of the matter either. I'm sick of everyone and their principles on everything.
Here we go with the "it's only $1!!!" argument 
It's not just a dollar. It's one dollar per player per event. It adds up.
Anyway it's not just the money. It is a logistical nightmare for a lot of TDs. We play in bi weekly events that are $5 entry and it all goes to 1st - 4th place winners. Now we will have to charge $6 instead of $5 which means you have to have a shit load of change for the 30 or so people that want to hand me a $10 bill. Or we take it out of the prize pool and the payouts get complicated when your having to give $X and change. It's going to get weird.
State prizes going from $100-$1000 will never draw in more people that are new to pinball.
People will leave the ifpa, the numbers will fall from what they are in 2017, but there will be more money and Josh will claim this was all a huge success.
