See the problem isn't how high the venue fee is, it's how low the entry fee is. Why make a tourney cost $15 if 2/3 of the money is going to the person holding it?
It looks like this-
For every 10 people that enter, $100 goes to DFG/NVGA, and $50 goes to the pot, so $35 to first place and $15 to second place. After getting second at a ten man tournament, the guy gets his money back.
If it were $10 venue/$10 entry, it'd be MUCH more fair to the players. $70 would go to first, and $30 to second, while NVGA still gets $100.
He's already completely disrespected the Smash community with the slap in the face that was Supercon (remember that bonus pot that was promised? They tried to make it $250, instead of $500, not to mention the fact that they wouldn't even let us use the mics while all of the 2D scrubs were on the screen) how long is he going to continue this bull**** until he finally realizes that if he wants to actually run a business doing this, he has to do it right?
@UL- I don't want to walk around moneygrubbing people in MMs, I do that when I meet them. I like the CO Smash scene, I just don't like the way **** is run. It's not a difficult thing to solve, up the entry fee so it's EQUAL TO the venue fee. We're not going there to hang out at some ******** convention with some ****** 2D players and a cockload of Halo***s, we're going there to play in a tournament.
