What kind of prizes would give you incentive to participate?

I'd want 200 bucks for first prize.

You're donating, right?

The thing that confuses me though is that even when I offered a Cobalt Flux as a prize, there was very little participation

Wait... when was this? If you were giving away a cobalt flux, I'd be there, in your contest, minutes or seconds after it's posted. I say, you redo the cobalt flux contest.

If that was actually a prize, then yes.

Re: What kind of prizes would give you incentive to participate?

I am probably not going to do the CF one because I have other plans for it currently

I think I'll prob offer other prizes like small cash prizes/subs/keyboards/possibly some of my cubes (already lubricated -- they turn like butter :P )

A larger cash prize wouldn't be a huge issue if other people donated, as I wouldn't want to front the entire cost of such. I think I'd be willing to give up like $20 for a good contest. $200 is something I'd rather spend on a good dinner, lol

This made me laugh out loud.

Mind explaining what a Colbolt Flux is?

I am guessing that it is a metal DDR pad.

Yeah I was confused too, but Google helped me out, haha.

So far the keyboard idea is my favorite, but they are all good idea's.

Have to agree, because my keyboard is about to break. I can tell because i just mashed an x3 FC on reality (and that RHYMED)

Check out the image gallery too. It's got a couple more pictures.

This is a pretty cool keyboard. USB connection, flat keys, under $20 if you shop around.

Oh, it's Logitech too, so you know it's not terrible.

Rubix... again, so you know... any prizes with monetary value will need to be put in escrow before the start of the tournament, or a cash equivalent. This is one of the recent rules that Sprite and I put into effect to help clean up the tournaments subforum. Many past tournaments have offered FFR subscriptions or schwag as prizes... and then never paid up. This will prevent that from happening.

Re: What kind of prizes would give you incentive to participate?

That's fine -- I just don't want to put up cool prizes and have nobody participate in the tournament! Was severely disappointed that the Flux didn't help make a larger tourney last time

No one knew what a Flux was... :/ I seriously thought it was that picture. Like you put it in your signature to brag about winning Rubix's tourney.

Because you said your tournament would have less mental bonus stuff yet had some random game and then mental bonus attacks which sucked because they would require some fcking heug waste of lief just to solve.
