RE: Proposal to cancel low participation tournaments
(Edited)
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
A rework of tournaments is needed, is there a way that prizes can be based on entries rather than fixed? Eg Top 50% payout x SPS per entrant added to prize pool? Or x packs added to prize pool for every 8 players that enter spread across top 25%
I think it’s not about cancelling tournaments it’s about encouraging more participation but I do agree a minimum number of players should be required if we can not scale prizes based on entrants

My understanding is, that you have to define the minimum participation rate as well as the tournament prize positions in advance. Which means you could host a tournament rewarding only the top4 (so less SPS prize pool, not moving all the prize pool to the top4!) if you expect 16 players registering. However, this would be a lot of effort for clay to keep track how to structure each individual tournament and I think this is rather something to tackle with a more substantial rework.
This proposal is a very low effort way to stop handing out ~200k SPS per season as participation prizes. This is not to take away from the participants or say they abuse the system, it is mostly that I think the DAO can spend the SPS better (this proposal just keeps them in the tournament reward pool for longer runway).
Yes, would definitely be part of the bigger rework (would love to see live Swiss events) and I agree that paying out to 100% of participants is not the way to run tournaments - when players can ignore day two of an event because they know they are getting a decent payout it doesn’t encourage good competition
