I would like to see a tournament with an entry fee, but let's say players are divided into tiers through voting, and the entry fee depends on their seeding. Then, for example, by advancing from the group stage, you win back a certain percentage of the entry fee (although, of course, managing the prize pool in this scenario would be a hassle). This would give players like me, who are in the middle of the pack, a reason to participate. In general, something along those lines, to add some excitement.
