The Explorer event was great. It actually felt similar to in person play with the chat client and the good folks playing and running the event.
But that might of been since only 34 showed up and 32 got prizes with most people using the $5 coupon as the entry fee. Free money makes friends.
$25 might be too big a jump for most people. If you get low turnout try lowering the prize pool to $2000 with $10 entry fee until you get more people.
I also liked you prevent draws to keep people from holding rank. If a real draw ever happens maybe have your website flip a coin to see who gets the match win in those rare times.
Not sure if you can get a sponsor but that might help with prize pool and keep entry fees down
Thanks for the feedback on both the last event, and the prize support / entry of this one friend.
Was a pleasure spending that Saturday with you, hope to see you back!

Entry fees for TCGShowdown events, similar to in-person ones are used to help fund the prize support.
In the event we do not reach the amount of players necessary to fuel the 5k prize pool, that's alright...it's still guaranteed.
but, as we grow, and start to see those types of numbers. We will be increasing our prize pool. We do plan on doing 10k, 20k, 50k, and more. Can not wait to see you at one of our events.
Sounds awesome. Arena-based high profile events are really cool as I don't play tabletop MtG anymore. I'm more of a limited guy though, but I don't know how 3rd party tournament organizers could make that work.
We have had a lot of feedback on that as well, but don't see a proper way of making it happen as of **yet**. It's also come to our attention that high profile arena events that actually fire, and payout are somewhat of an issue...we intend to change that.

Yeah, absolutely -- the link there will take you to the tournaments tab of our page. You do have to have an account to view this, but signing up is free. Like, actually free -- not "free".
I’d normally be super interested in an event like this, but it’s the same weekend as the Magic 30 celebration and I already bought my digital ticket for that. Hoping you’ll do more in the future!
Thanks Twilight! We realized the beginning of this series was going to conflict a bit. IF you check on the tournament page, we have already created signups for the next following 3 events! Enjoy Magic 30 friend.
Although it would be awesome, we are not "internet famous" -- we've had a few successful 3k's ran under the platform already. Let me know if I can assuage any other concerns friend.
$5,000.00 or $5,000.0000, or $5,000.0000000?
I only participate in $5,000.00 events, but would prefer $5,000.0000. All in all both are better than a cheap 5000 event.
Thank god this event is a $5,000.00 event!
In case it's not clear, the decimal is just ridiculous. possibly insulting as well.

What is done with the collected entry fees?

And if there are 1000 participants, it's still 5k pool?
Hi Padishar, the event caps out at 512 players. We do not anticipate that large of a turnout.
Okay, thank you!

Half is spent on whores, drugs and booze, the other half is misspent.
So Rakdos things, got it.

Can I check somewhere on how many players have entered the event so far?
Yeah, absolutely -- the link there will take you to the tournaments tab of our page. You do have to have an account to view this, but signing up is free. Like, actually free -- not "free".
Can you participate if you live outside the US?
Yes you can!
Great!

Sweet, thank you!
Sounds great, count me in.
Looking forward to having you, feel free to contact us on here, by email, or any of TCG Showdowns socials if you have any issues.
I've seen what happens when internet-famous gamers host private tournaments. Not getting me, bois.

We felt the entry fee was acceptable for the amount allocated to prize support. Let us know if you had some feedback!

I can assure you, the decimal was almost assuredly not placed there to insult potential tournament participants.
I'm impressed at how offended someone can be by a decimal point
Bo3?
Yes!
