What’s the big deal about a $1? What’s the actual rule, per game? Per entry? Per tournament?

It’s a small price to pay...to see how the system works. Would it kill anyone to try it for a year and see what happens? How it impacts TD’s? How it impacts tournament attendance? How it impacts IFPA revenues and tournament payouts? And finally, how it impacts the taste in everyone’s mouth after a year of trying it?
The IFPA (and those Sharpe boys, that Kevin Kulek beat down back in the day!) are smart people that care about pinball. They’ll see how it goes and take reasonable feedback into consideration when deciding how to move forwad. So jeez, principles acknowledged, can’t people see how it goes for a year and then be the judge?
I’ve heard good arguments from both sides, but for a buck a tourney I’d give it a shot for a year. I think the IFPA deserves that. YMMV.
Quoted from epthegeek:Big money for tournaments brings media attention... Which generates exposure... Which generates interest... Which grows pinball overall.
It's not at all supposed to be "OMG BIG CASH PRIZE MUST PLAY".
More than anything, this ^.
Quoted from Whysnow:Is it really hard to say, if you want to count for IFPA then pay a buck. IF you don't care about IFPA then it is $1 less to participate?
Seems really simple to provide players the choice and seems like the best thing to if you are running IFPA events and want to bring in new people. hive them the option and they may come back nex time and pay the buck???
Are you giving them the option at your tourneys?
