Fine As Is

I am happy with the current 2 or 3 tournaments per day and do not wish to change anything.

Go Back to 4 Per Day

I was happier before the changes that happened a month ago and would like to return to the previous rotation of having 4 tournaments every day. More tournaments with some having smaller prizes.

Go Down to 1 of Each Type Per Month

I would like to see the current number of tournaments reduced by 50% and have only 1 tournament of each type available per month. Fewer tournaments with larger prizes each.

I like the current number of events. 4/day was too much but I think where we are now is just right!

Would you guys be in favor of adding some ghost card tournaments now they are added? as a small player I have not/probably will never get to play with a lot of these max level cards and splinters and it really does change the game play. The only person who hosts these tournaments is @bunsbagsandcaps weekly tournaments

I think its great and allows access for new players to play with cards they may never get their hands on.

@clayboyn is there any particular reason they couldn't be added as a weekly event for the community to rally around (without kyc preferably)?

They can be added right now, they won't have prizes though. In order for me to make a ghost card tournament with prizes, we'd need to pass a proposal. My suggestion was that we take 5% from the modern tournament prize pool and 5% from the wild tournament prize pool and then have 10% of tournament rewards going to GC tournaments. I've gotten the impression that isn't going to pass a vote. So instead, I asked the team to whitelist some community tournament creators to make GC tournaments.

I'm all for adding ghost card tournaments, the issue is we don't have any rewards apportioned to them. So after talking with the team we were able to get access for a handful of community members to create them. Brybro is doing an open guild format tournament right now. Clove and bulldog can make them and as you've noted buns can make them too. We may allow more users to open them in the future, we're just kind of observing at the moment.

A Ghost Card Tourney, 8 Player Single Elim Sit N Go and Heads Up Sit n Go Tourneys would be awesome too...

Put some Mid-High Entry Fees out there, reward with Packs and SPS, etc... You'll have more players and game fast af :)

That's the kind of thing that would need to be automated imo... It's just not practical for me to try to manually create a ton of 8 person tournaments. It's also something that could be handled by an individual if they're passionate about it.

Make a proposal and ask for some seed funding for the prize pool with a gameplan to recoup and burn the DEC. My strong suggestion would be to ask for Rebellion packs with a gameplan to burn 4,000 DEC per pack the DAO allocates to this idea.

It would most certainly have to be automated and the script would be super simple:

New Tourney Category: Sit 'n' Go
Check: Is Open Tourney Avail Yes/No?
If Yes, wait
If No, then create Tourney with 8 Avail Slots

This would allow players to buy in and play with the top 50% taking home the prizes. Or winner take all :D

Again I'm happy with current number of tournaments, I did all the ones I could before when they were free and it was too much.
