Just a fun idea I had. We should collect a list of interested parties for an April tournament, best of 10 (permitting use of doubling cube) per match, maybe with a $5 buy-in per person (winner gets 90% of funds, 10% of money goes toward paying VPS bill) Playing for nothing is also fine but $5 feels like enough to stake that the games would be a little more interesting but nothing to get upset over. Best of 10 may sound like a lot but incorporating the doubling cube, 1 game becomes 2 becomes 4 becomes 8 potentially very quickly... playing with a small number of games per "match" gives RNG an advantage over skill, which is something to be avoided |
