Seeding

Is it just me or does the seeding subsection now contradict itself?--Vurogj 16:41, 15 October 2005 (PDT)

Edited the part about byes in the main section, as in my experience, byes are distributed according to the seeding method. --Thunderbird 16:53, 15 October 2005 (PDT)

cascading exponentially

http://forums.puzzlepirates.com/community/mvnforum/viewthread?p=481126#481126 has Lordkalvan's explanation of cascading exponentially payouts. It may be better than the current explanation in the article. --Guppymomma 15:58, 28 November 2005 (PST)

Tourney broadcasts

Does anyone know exactly how big the prize pot has to be in order for the broadcast to reach those aboard ships? I just saw such a broadcast for a 100k+foil tournament on Sage, while on board a ship. --Thunderbird 18:19, 23 January 2006 (PST)

Pot bonus

Why would I create a tournament with pot bonus and items? What do I gain from it (if I don't win the tournament)?

Perhaps you may have heard of the concept of fun and sharing. :) --Guppymomma 19:13, 2 April 2006 (PDT)

That's the loosest way of putting it; the thing about creating tournaments is that they're not really a good way for you to accrue wealth. Yes, if you're really good, you might be able to sweep your own tournament and make some money, but...It'd probably be more efficient to just do individual matches. A "good" tournament is about bringing players together for some friendly matches. That said, if you want to look at it from a business standpoint, then having a pot offers an advantage, because it draws in more players, thus increasing the final pot for you (if you win). Still...If you want to make money, I'd recommend doing others' tournaments, or just doing individual matches. Have fun. :) --Emufarmers 22:50, 2 April 2006 (PDT)

Prize section needs updating

I'd do it, but my brain is hurting to try to change what's there into what's now accurate. It probably just needs a rewrite instead of a revision. --Guppymomma 19:28, 24 May 2007 (PDT)
