2 RfG. I swear I didn't write this. Bookmakers and betting are not my thing.
I think players just want to play and chat with people, and they wouldn't want other players to start arguments because someone gave someone a hint or stood in the wrong place. This is also an integral part of communication and a great Heroes atmosphere. If there is a material factor, the possibility of such misunderstandings increases many times over.
Otherwise, we won't see Kobra, AlexTheGreat, Bayazet, Stinger, and other masters of the game giving their all. So that the truly best player can be determined. Otherwise, the tournament will become a formality after the first round and will hardly be completed.
For now, I just suggest making the entry fees optional for the players. Of course, only they will be eligible to claim a share of the prize pool.
I don't think 2,000 rubles is such a big hit to the budget. There would be players who would pay to participate in a tournament where almost all the best Heroes players are gathered.
Also, as far as I understand, the football team from St. Petersburg is expected to arrive, so I think it would be wise for everyone to bring sports shoes, of course, if there is a field to play on in Michurinsk.
There will be.
I would advise Nagan to think about a possible plan for the players and guests' leisure activities (barbecue, fishing, hunting, mushroom and berry picking, etc.), because spending several days in May in a club is a faux pas.
Did I write anything else? Read the first post in this thread. People will have a good time, clubs, barbecues, cafes, bowling, etc.
