High Stakes Tournament?

  So there has been some talk about setting up a tournament for higher stakes then what is currently up there now.  So this is just going to be a post to test the waters to find out A. How many players would actually be interested in player and B. How much are they willing to put into a tournament like this.

   

  A. Please let me know if you are willing to play in a high stakes tournament?  Please be honest.  It doesn't help if you say you would enter then never do.  If you would rather answer me in private just send me a friend request or message me.

  B.  What is the most you would pay for a tournament like this?  Figure on the low end 500 credits and on the high end 1000 credits. 

  C.  Would you want winner take all, top five, or top 10?

  I personally believe high stake tournaments will only appeal to the better players, of which I am not, so thank you but no , it wouldn't appeal to me.

  Thank you for your input.  I agree there will only be a select few that will enter.  Hopefully it will be like 10-15 players.  With that many it could still be fun.

  Suppose pay out would depend on amount of entrants then, say 1 - 25 winner takes all, 25 - 50 maybe top 3 and over and above maybe top 10 .....

  I believe those asking were speaking in terms of RG's...but I also think you may have missed Dazza's suggestion a bit back...regarding higher limit RG's...but ones that were "open" for a week, for all to enter, then payed out accordingly...I'll see if I can find it and post the link here.

   

  FWIW...I don't even play the monthly/etc tourneys that are tier specific because they only pay out the Top 3...now there could be a new opportunity there...10 player RG's with top 3 payouts...seems they'd fill fast and often.

   

  Be like "speed Dating";)

   

  Edit:

  Here's Darren's post...mercy...bit longer than a week ago though;)
