I would propose one of two structures:

$10 Event Entry + $3 Venue fee
Then pay out is 60%, 25%, 15% or whatever…
This makes for larger prizes and the store does OK also.

OR

$10 Entry with following payout
40%, 20%, 10%, 30% to Venue (so essentially $3 held from entry for Venue)
Small prizes, but less money on the line also…cheaper to enter.

Its consistent with most other tournaments in WA and on the West Coast.
It is more advantageous to the Players for a “Local”.
For the Game Store they still make a decent chunk if ppl show up.
The store gets the same $$ in either scenario.
If they sell things like Pop, Water, etc they simply ask for a No Outside Food/Drink policy, which means they make money off drink sales also.

that sounds niiiiiiiiiice.

@gameclucks the venue dosnt serve food or drinks on the regular basis(just for birthday parties and special events) but i think those are pretty legit ideas, u should come thro on tuesday on the fight night so we can talk more in person, but yea the purpose of the fight night is to kick it ,play( and eat) and discuss the pay out structure to some people so we can all agree on somthin.

24

I’m gonna try to roll through this Tuesday.

25

I seriously hope u can, if hella people make it out then we can have this event like once a month, i mean for real tho, pizza drinks and fighting games, sounds like a good ass time to me,lol

Causals start @ 4 and the tournament starts around 6, once everybody pays up thats wen we organize the brackets(for the record we try to organize them in a way were friends dont play each other off jump,after all, u dont enter a tournament to knock ur friend off in the 1st round)
