There will soon be so many tournaments, that people can pick and choose the ones they want. If an entry fee is a barrier for them, that's understandable. They'll just have to stick to the free ones.

I have played in two so far, and I liked the experience overall. It's a lot simpler than the old way of doing tournaments. I've got another one this morning at 8... hopefully I have a little better luck than the last two. :)
