Text tourny with an entrance fee?

IP: 4577 CD9A

Let me know what you think. I was tossing this idea around in my head to spice up the usual text tourny:

You donate $2, $5, $10, or $15 to enter the tourny.
Winner takes 35% of the pot on a $2 fee.
Winner takes 65% of the pot on a $5 fee.
Winner takes 75% of the pot on a $10 fee.
Winner takes 85% of the pot on a $15 fee.

Meaning if you aren't very confident in winning, you would donate $2. If there are 48 participants and the total pot is $400. This would mean if you win the tourney you would receive $140.....And $340 on a $15 bet....Not only will this bring compeitition and allow only the good heads (or rich) to join. But it will give you a chance to win some decent funds.

The entire forum will be hidden from the general RB public. So that the spamming will be reduced, and only paying participants and judges can see the secret forum.
All battles will be voted upon by myself, and four other impartial judges. You can request and recieve a refund up and till the day of the match-ups posting.

My question is would you enter? This would completely 100% legit. Fair judges, and the money without a doubt will be sent. There will be disclaimers and lots of other shit verifying the authentication of this entire tourney. All transactions on RB's behalf and your behalf will be made through Paypal.com


So give me your thoughts?

Well, if no one does it, no big deal. I wont start this forum then. But I know if this type of opportunity approached me when I use to textcee, I know for damn sure I'd join it. With money on the line, it makes things more exciting.

I mean RB is not some two bit five member ez board. We are one of the most well known netcee sites on the web. I wouldn't jeopardize the credibility of this site to rip anyone off. I worked to damn hard to build this entire community to let it go down the drain for shady actions.

If you do not want to join because you do not have the money. That's fine. However if you have the money and do not want to join because you cannot trust my efforts in making this sort of tourney. Then once again I must assure you this 100% legit.

By the way if this tournament does not work out or finish with a declared winner. Then Everyone will receive a complete refund. Even the first round losers.

As said, if there isn't a winner declared. Be it for lack of people. Or just things get out of hand. There will be a refund for everyone!

ForeiGn. you must remember, though the money increases a hell of a lot more. It also makes it harder to win. There will be more competition. And battles will consist of 4-6 emcees battling each other at once.

BigBones discuss that with Syntax or Bareknuckle I do not do Mod positions....

ForeiGN all transactions will use paypal.com
It is a service where you use your credit card and it automatically deducts the amount specified and sends directly to me. Its convienent, and secure. Its used by over 15 million people online, and Ebay owns it...

And thats because you practiclly ripped everyone that you faced,thus you would get some nice cash for doing a daily thing......now to the idea.

Great idea,but a lot of people don't got credit cards,so that could create a problem.Which limits it to a very few....plus those with one willing to pay.But like you said,if people are interested,make the forum,if they aren't don't.Sll I have to say is that it doesn't hurt trying out a new idea every once and a while......

and I got a question,when are you going to bring back rapper surviour week......
