JK:JA - What about a duel tournament ?

I was just wondering if ppl might be interested by a duel tournament on JK:JA...

The idea is to organize a "pay to fight" tournament in order to raise some money for the servers. Ppl who would participate just have to pay a one time fee (less than 5$ for example) and then run through the duels.

The money raised thanks to the ppl who sign up would be divided into the rewards and a donation for the JA :D

What do you think ?

P.S.: Any JAC, is it possible for you to identify the ppl who make donation through Paypal ?

Looks like not enough people, not even the JACs, is interested.

Then why is there a permanent thread about pledging if this kind of idea, designed to help the community, is not even considered by the JACs ???

Oh well, forget about it. Everyone should have chosen the last option :D

Have fun !

Still don't have any feedback from JACs on this.

:(

I'll let you know if things progress or not.

Excellent concept. Its always a great idea to have torneys and such. It keeps moral up and gives everyone a chance to be apart of academy events. Anything we can do to generate participation helps us all in the long run. Just getting everyone together makes it all worth while. :alliance:

Then I would propose to organize 2 tournaments:

- a free one opened to everyone
- a pay one opened to whoever is willing and able to help raising some money for the academy.

If it is possible to organize both, the winner of each tournament would get a reward depending on the particaption to the pay tournament.

And for the fee, I would say 3 bucks is enough if the participation is correct (ie >50-75 persons).

If these ideas seem good to you, please post your comments and support. Now we have to wait for the JACs'decision about that.

:D

Oh yeah, maybe an extra incentive to the other players, I don't know what, something free I would guess.

Hey, that sounds cool to me, but the thing is I doubt i could do the pay pall thing, send me an address or something and ill mail my 5 bucks, another question, with the JA servers being all extra laggy where would we hold the tournament? We could try the jase server, it is normaly good, but you would have to ask ct, or whoever is incharge of the jase server.

My big issue is that most of our members don't have the capacity to give yus money, which is cool. I wouldn't want to force them to pay to play. :/ Hows about the winner donates $500? :D

I was thinking about the Paypal thing. I'm waiting for the JACs to look at the thread and give their opinion.

I just have a question for the ppl who voted 'No, paying for a tournament just sucks':

Do you think it sucks because you'd have to pay (whatever the amount is) or because you do not have any means to pay (no money, no credit card, etc.) ?

Thank you to post your comments so that we could improve the basic idea altogether :D

Sounds excellent...but DO check with the JACs...they know what's what and all :)

I'd be in...and please keep an eye on the permanent to do with pledging in the Academy forum while we're waiting...peeps tend to forget about threads once made permanent, LOL.

yeah, sounds like a pretty good idea. if we got like 20 people to pay 5 bucks....thats 100 bucks...have the winner be required to donate at least 50% of the winnings to the JA....sounds good to meh :)

Hey Silencio,

The idea is not to put a high fee, just a kind of symbolic thing. And for the credit card, 'Doobie has maybe some other ways to get the donation.

Please vote :D
