This is a new and supposed to be fun feature, introduced by WGT just a few days ago, and I for one think it's a great idea. If your going to whine and complain over the cost of 5 credits, well all I can say is wow!!!
Perhaps you might like to try reviewing (actually reading) the rules and conditions before entering such a tournament, then perhaps you will be spared the shock of finding yourself outside your comfort zone.
Maybe if you approach this a a game and a learning experience, your migfht just benefite from the experience, otherwise please spare everone from your foolish and childlish whining and complaining over such insignifant things.
