We have noticed that people seem to be hesitant to sign up for OCG Showdown, and we would like to know the deciding factors. I know I talked to 5 or so teams who are interested in the current price, but our goal is 16 teams or more.
That being said what specifically is the deciding factor for you in signing up for the event?
1 - The cost of entry is too high
2 - You don't have time to play
3 - You don't like the format of the event
4 - You don't like the prize
5 - You want to see the Client go public before committing to the event
If there are any other reasons please feel free to add to what I have posted. I am just looking to see what we can do to get a good turnout, because If we could get 16-32 teams I would definitely look into a lower entrance fee for the event, I just want to bring the type of event the community is looking for so if you could post what you see as a the best cost to participate for your team to sign up, I will be looking into it and possibly changing the cost of entrance for the event.
If you would like to ask me any questions privately Xfire me @ zzxq
Thanks for your time and input and we look forward to hosting this event.

I dont think I was on staff whenever that happened, but if it did I apologize. We have made many staff changes for the 2014 Launch, which I think will help our events run a lot smoother. -
Wouldn't participate cause waste of money when there is a 0% chance I'm gonna win a game muahahaha
honestly in a game with 2 or 3 consistent top teams thats my biggest worry is that teams who just like to compete, but know they cant get a top spot wont enter. -

you can have prizes for other placements besides top 3 sponsored by z8games or something. I don't think this game is really ready for a cash entrance-fee tourny but that's just my opinion -
the price of entry is much too high for your first paid tournament
how many teams are actually signed up?
Right now sign ups have only been up a day but after talking with teams, at the current price we will get around 8 teams to participate at the current rate. So we might lower the price, if it will significantly effect sign ups -

I did a thread a while back and people said 5-10 USD per player was a good price, so thats what we did. Now that it has been done, people think its too high so that is why we are looking into it. -

5-10 would be a great price if i knew that the ac was worth the price
which we don't -

Even assuming that every single person who said "yeah I'd consider it for 5-10" mean that they would for sure sign up...
Unless you had 45 or more people all agreeing on that price that, you shouldn't have been surprised at the 8 team turnout. Especially with such little faith in your league pervading the community. -
All I think you should do, is host a mini tourney for the AC.
It's only to prove that the AC works and maybe the winner of the mini tourney can get codes or something. Only reason why people are hesitant is because they don't know whether or not the AC is good. -
But if no one hacks, they won't know if the AC is actually good.All I think you should do, is host a mini tourney for the AC.

No why don't you just run 3 tournaments with client x and use everyone as guinea pigs again and then tell me if it can finally catch cheaters by the last tournament in the last matches. *cough* zezoWhat kind of proof are you looking for exactly? I mean we could probably make a video of someone attempting to cheat on it, and client X catching the cheat file if that is what you are looking for. -

It works, it's been proven. Otherwise ZEZO wouldn't of been caught. It's more to the point that Evan goes 2-4 weeks through a series and waits until the finals for tournaments to check the logs. -

I agree, but some people will always doubt it.
That being said we are working on ways to make people understand better how the Client functions to catch cheaters.
hope this will help.
