Tournaments
on 6/19/2012 11:57:01 PM
Tournaments should be free to enter with free game play. To charge a vid or pin player to promote your business is sad especially when then prizes and gifts arent worth the price in gas. Get some sponsors and stop charging the people who promote businesses and the companies like nintendo. The american way right?

Oh, boy, this is gonna creyate anothah monschtah.
The arcade owner needs to find said sponsors first. If the tourney is not big enough, the sponsors will not waste their time. There is also the question of location. Is the tourney in a sprawling city, or is it way out of the way from everybody? If it is out of the way, the sponsor has to decide, "is it worth it for me to go out of my way to support this tourney?".

I've played in "ranked" pinball tournaments that have given prizes and it is not economically viable for games to be on free. I did my first one last month and it is not viable to be on free play. 50 cents a game, hard settings and no replays. Makes the players better, makes it challenging and give prizes that are decent. So far so good for our monthly tournaments @ Young Loud and Snotty in Atlantic Beach FL.
It's painfully obvious by people's posts online who does and does not own a pinball or arcade machine, who has and hasn't worked on one and who and who hasn't ever operated a game or run a tournament. Having done all of these now, I have a growing understanding and respect for those that put their money, time and energy where their mouths are. I currently have 5 pinball machines on route (goal is 10 by year end) and I take pride being a great collector operator in my area.
I frankly don't take things people say or do personal, but I look forward to manifesting more cool people in the pinball community and learning from people that actually own and work on games instead of day dream online.
