Hi.
Well DeDe, to me the TOC did not look as good as it looked for you. No ofense ! Less than one third (1/3) of the players who won a Tourney in July, attended the TOC... Giving the all 15 tixs just for the winner, is not a great idea ! In any sport known so far, played enywhere in the world, the runner up gets something ! Why not in Backgammon - at Gamecolony - is not possible ?...
Anyway, I have another idea (if the one above is not suitable) : since this TOC is a kind of reward for the players who attend the Tourneys, the Webs should let all the Tixs collected as EntryFee, as a full pot for the Winner and Runner up (NO rake). And if more then - let/s say 16 players attend - third and fourth players should get some Tixs too.
Thank you.
PS. I ivite all players that love and attend Tourneys, to vote with a simple YES or NO to idea Number 1 or Number 2.
YES AND YES

I agree with your assessment Coco ... 2nd place TOC runner up should get a portion of the Web's Extra Ticket Bonus Payout!
And since they have chosen to increase the entry fee to a TOC rather than keeping it lower so more would be willing to join, I also agree that this is the one tournament where no house rake should be taken and all monies go to the VIPs who played. One tournament once a month devoted entirely to reward the dedicated VIPs - great idea Coco!

Entry fees to a BG D/E are usually 6 tix are they not? So the BG TOC fee is the same as normal.
As a point of interest the bonus is actually more than the surplus tix after payouts until you get a very large number of players.
How about .....

A thank you to the Admin and the TD's for bringing the Tournament of Champions for the players and a thank you to the webs for the extra tix? Just saying ...... A little gratitude goes a long way.
Thanks!

Thanks Admin and the Webs for the extra payout and thank you to the hosts for hosting the TOC. Coco I see your point, but I've been on this site for 20 years now and BG has never had 16 players in a tournament. As soon as that happens, I'm sure they'll agree to no rake. Until then, keep recruiting players to play. Since only 1/3 played as you observed, maybe you can encourage more players to play? BTW, 2nd place did get tix in the TOC. Just not a piece of the winning pot. 10 or more players will place 3 players. It has been about 10 or more years since TOC was here. Let's not complain about a new great thing before it even gets started!
Amen

Play backgammon tournaments online
At GameColony.com you can play games of skill only -- play for free or play for $prizes!.
According to the statutes of most states in the United States, gambling is defined as: "risking something of value upon the outcome of a contest of chance". (Also see No Gambling!). The skill (as opposed to chance) is predominant in games of skill. Playing games of skill for $prizes, therefore, has nothing to do with gambling as it is not a contest of chance -- the more skillful player will win far more often. The chance element of a 'gamble' is either insignificant or missing. When players compete in tournaments or games of skill for $prizes -- it is "competitive entertainment" rather then "gambling". The more skilled winner will always win more matches, tournaments and $prizes.
