If a league/tourny were to be made, would you/your team enter it if:

Entry Fee: $5 per player ($25 per team)
Team amount: 32
First Prize: $500
Second Prize: $200
Third Prize: $100

Personally wouldn't enter, only got two members, but the pricing seems fair. Though I'm somewhat older (got cash $$), not sure if the youngsters are willing to cough up the dough

I would if it was not in America

Nope. I consider Urban Terror a great game to play for fun, and for fun only. Having a fee and money prize discourages not skilled players for participating and enjoying the tournament (and perhaps learn a couple of things during the league). Besides, not every clan is created for the purpose of being "the First" or "the Best" and thus recruiting people based on their skills are not their intention.

Though i admit that the fee is low

One reason why this wouldn't work in the EU, there would only be 4 or 5 clans that would have a reasonable chance of winning. What would be the motivation for the other 28 clans to join? Sorry i can't see it happening. Also people would form teams with the best players.

no no no, I'll tell you why it won't happen.

'cause people don't want to pay.


and someone else will let them league without pay.



it's like the passport system for pubs. It won't work if people can play elsewhere.

[websey (old)]

tbh i think the whole point is you pay to paly to win ! nothing else ! people arnt being forced into it....

and on the passport subject thing, I am going to be allowing a few months grace before putting the *notoriety* thingon... anyway that was nothing to do with this thread

I wouldn't. I think it would only attract cheaters. And more important issue when deciding to join a league is, is it a quality run league? Having prizes or not doesn't indicate if the league is a quality run league, so, the prizes would not attract me, but knowing that the league was run by reputable people and had good support of the community would.

You think the whining is high for free leagues.. wait til theres prizemoney involved.

Entry fee is too low (remember, splitting at least 5 ways for a 5 man team) and there aren't enough teams in "skill brackets" for it to really be feasible. You have maybe 3 clans in North America right now that could win under good circumstances (like if 1 or 2 starters didn't show for the opponent). Europe maybe has 4 or 5 like 7o9 said. So if you have 20 teams, 17 have practically zero chance of winning any money. You'd want divisions, like A, B, C, etc., and then you have too few teams in each division so more than half win money (which means lower prizes or much higher entrance fees; though $5 is too low regardless).

It's not a bad idea at all, and I'm surprised it's never been brought up before, but unfortunately this community is too small for it to attract enough people willing to pony up $20 usd each or something. Plus as everyone else said, cheating, badly run, whiny bitches, etc.
