I agree with this so much. Even if players do split the pot, they should play out the set for everyone to watch.

Since money won't be on the line (and they're friends), it'll be played like more of a friendly than a tournament set.

I think if people split for reason #2 it should be on their own time, like AFTER the set.
There's nothing worse than a GFs being nothing more than glorified screwing around.

Leave some money on the table to play for.

If they DO play the set anyway, the winner might suddenly decide he doesn't want to split anyway.

ya i hate this, god**** chillin chudat make every tournament so anti climatic
In the Midwest when people want to do this we make them play out the set for the right to claim their name as 1st place on the tourney results. And that's usually enough for them for play a semi-serious set.
**** splitting. The match should be played as normal. If the two players have a deal between themselves, then there's nothing we can do about it, but they should be forced to play the match, and obvious screwing around should be frowned upon. Everything that's professional has winners and losers. Play the **** tournament like a professional.
This probably won't happen....
People who generally split are good friends so the chances of one of them changing the deal like that is just silly.
I think this is fairly reasonable. Thats what me and Eggm did once.
It won't give you a high stake set but really what can you do? As a TO you really have no power over splits.

a couple times i've split at socal tournaments we do a moneymatch for 5 dollars or so so it still feels like grand finals but we're splitting most of the money.
at the oxnard ranbats whenever i split with someone we play it out for who gets more points in the season

Maybe for anything bigger than a local event. At locals, it can be the same 2 players placing top 2 every time which does get stale fast.

Just make the prize something that you can't split. Like a car or a Melee disk. Which is worth more again?

impossible to enforce. the easiest way to prevent this is to give checks for prizes.

If me and Mango ever get in the finals of a big tournament, be prepared for Yoshi dittos.

when you enter the tournament, you pay your entry fee for your shot to win the pot. no one owes you anything after you get knocked out. if players want to split, it's their choice for having the talent to get to that option in the first place. if you want to stop splits, be better and knock those players out of the bracket and then they can't do it anymore.

but what if everyone is talented and they all agree to a split an no matches even happens? people just show up, pay, get what they payed, then bounce. sounds like fun to me!!!

I'd be fine with prize splitting personally, but with the catch that they have to MM each other on the spot if they choose to do so.

then no one has economic incentive to attend and tournament never happens anyway? at least attempt to make sense.

Smash Legend
that's just lesser splitting
who's to say they won't split the mm money later?
the only real solution is to get better and then not split yourself!

You need to get Mango to seriously play in a tournament, first. >_>

why would it matter? the asymmetric information alone takes away any economic incentive to attend. even with perfect information, it wouldn't be worth the gas money. at least think out your hypothetical situations.

**** mow you got me but i still beat you in tournament
Ya, maybe you should not be such a scrub and make it to the finals.
Chu and Chillin go way back. They are just making easy money off scrubs.\
edit: oh! Hey Mow.

It means we're both gonna sandbag like **** and I'm gonna prolong the matches as long as I can to make it painfully boring.
