Idea to curb tournament no-shows
We've tried different things in the past like the tournament failure award and tournament exclusion lists and they have failed for various reasons. What if we charge everyone who signs up for tourneys a certain amount of credits as an entrance fee? They get reimbursed the credits either when they win or get eliminated provided they post in all their rounds up to that point. If they no-show any of their rounds, then they never get it back. This won't stop all no-shows but it may prevent some. Make the credit entrance fee "affordable" enough that most people will be able to join, and that if they don't have enough credits, then it's probably a sign that they either haven't been active long enough on the site or they've probably lost too much credits in the past due to chronically no-showing. What do you guys think?
