hmm I have an idea. It probably needs to evolve, or needs a few changes, but maybe it can lead to something.
It would be something like this:
- Play the "Big League" and advance top 16 or 24 players
- Don't pay those 16 or 24 players for advancing to the Mini League phase
- Keep the mini League structure but don't eliminate anyone. So everyone that advances to the Mini League system, would play 4 Mini Leagues (like in the previous competition)
- Instead of the final Top3 prizes, every Mini League would award prizes to the players (they would be smaller of course)
- Daily Challenges in these Mini Leagues, would pay 30mBTC to anyone who won them (instead of just doubling points)
So by not paying the top 16 that advance to the playoffs (480mBTC total) those coins would be given in the Daily Challenges (the cost would be the same, since we have 4 Mini Leagues, with 4 Daily Challenges each)
By not paying big top3 prizes in the final, and not eliminating users on each mini league, everyone would have a chance to win something along the way.
This would reward consistent and active play in my opinion, and I think it's aligned with the God.Of.Gambler idea, which I agree.
Although the prizes would be smaller, there would be so many ways of winning something, that for active and consistent users, it could still result in big prizes.
Sounds good for me, and that one which God.of.gambler said/sugest also good. If must vote, both of them idea will have vite from me..
Its simple for me, because most of my prize i always got from this kind of side competition and until now im not good/lucky enough to finished on top 7 main competition
