but we can have some nice round number like 1.5 mbtc?!
In the end all that money goes to bankroll and people will have motivation to play for some higher rewards.
For regulars like us, this might not seems to be a big amount but we are trying to attract other people to join us as well so increasing the buy in further will only shut people down somehow.
Exactly, personally I couldn't care less if buy in is 1.4 or 1.5 mBTC, but we have to look at it from new players perspective. We are now close to 15$ per tournament. That is already a considerable sum of money in some parts of the world, especially if you have to pay it for 6 tournaments. 6 tournaments at this point cost 85$ which is quite big for new players.
I still feel our number one priority has to be attraction of new players even though reality is probably that only regulars will play. We can always make side bets or something to spice it up even more. For example I would gladly made a bit with another person at my table, or even several. I guess we don't have late reg now so there will not be many seating changes. When the game starts we can make a bet of let's say 1-2 mBTC and the person who last longest takes it. We did something like that for the first tournament of the first series.
It's not really about how much a tournament costs, the focus that should be given is what type of players it is suitable for. If we look at the SWC ecosystem there is traffic that tends more to low stakes or micro buyin.
I play a $ 15 tournament not only because I want to but because my bankroll allows it, it is not about being able to put money in "x mmt", I could play the cost of $ 85 but I would be breaking my bankroll control rule. I support any initiative and I can even support it without the need to play tournaments.
First of all you always have to maintain objectivity, someone said that he would not play for pennies, ok. But then where is the community, player who does not have much if they must put their bankroll at risk.
When I speak of bankroll is the money you have to play or that you have planned to spend, here it is not about measuring your ability to make deposits, not having $ 85 or "$ x" does not mean that you are poor, etc. , it is only an amount "$x" destined to play.
There should even be some kind of satellite to those tournaments, to really include all levels of bankroll.
Regards.
