So why am I posting this? I am trying to figure out if tournaments need an increase in prize pools, decreases.. What we need to do, what we need to change.

Part of the issue with less people in each tournament is that there are simply MORE tournaments every day.

Some of my thoughts:

1) So, I was trying to figure out if we should drop one of the BCP and increase the prize pools on them

2) If we should lower the Carbon prize pools by $5.00 but Add a 5th one.. That sort of thing


Here is our current line up:

So the question is, do we want MORE tournaments (5 carbon) or bigger prize pools (from 3 tourneys to 2 at BCP but $20 and $15 prize pools)

[Poof]

I like the proposed change, I can get 2 carbon games in on weekdays

[rdog1797]

i like the larger prize pools rather than more tourneys

[rivdee]

I think bigger prize pools, especially on a site like BCP where you can't do much with what we play for 5th-10th.

[bargangilo]

I'm in favor of bigger prize pools.

[ForgottenSon]

I would like it more if there were more tourneys on carbon as I dont play on BCP.

[Rams69]

I seem (as well as others) to have problems on BCP and Juicy a lot. I would say do what ya can with carbon (bigger prize pools) etc.

[newdaddyhere]

hm... i would say drop one of the tourneys and raise the prize pool. I would keep the late bcp but make prize pool bigger. That one seems to have more and more ppl in it latley. ANd same goes for carbon I would say. I thk raising the prize pool would make everyone happy. thats what i would say/

[AcesUp1439]

I would like to see bigger prize pools in the BCP games. I would like to start a roll on BCP but with such small prize pools it is hard to do.

[gpahren]

I'm definitely in favor of raising the BCP prize pool - even if you drop one.

If Carbon's prize pool is dropped, would the buy-in be lowered?
