I don't know what the normal entry fees are for tournaments like this, but isn't $60 pretty high? As a local casual player that has no chance in hell of doing well in this, I would probably donate $10-$20 to participate, but at $60 I'll pass. I assume many others are in the same boat. I wonder if you'd get a bigger overall prize pool with a lower entry fee.
Quoted from Baiter:This is actually a great benefit to local casual players who, in an unlimited qualifier, may be inclined to plop down a $20, which won't get you a single attempt on each of the 8 game bank, while other players are putting down $120 and getting 4-5 attempts at each of the 8 games. How often do you think you'll best someone if they had 4-5 tries and you got 1 in a match? Yup, you may as well burn that $20 in the parking lot before you come in and stick to the free play area.
With everyone getting 20 tries on the same games, things start to even out nicely, and casual players are inclined to use up all their 20 plays and actually be competitive.
Fair enough.
