I am absolutely not complaining about anything.<br />
I am just mentioning things that might be worse to be kept in mind, since if you don't, you might just lose a lot of money which is probably not in noone's interest.<br />
(note that I said "might")<br />

I am a big fan of this idea.<br />
I would play in this even if only top4 got money. I understand what Jason is saying that he doesn't want someone losing out on tiebreakers not getting boosters but remember the top8 are also getting an extra draft.

Every single time you participate in a tournament at the Games Club, it effects your 'Games Club Points', which in-turn effects your ranking on the 'Games Club Ladder'. At the end of the year, the winner gets free FNM for a year (for eg), and runners up win a box each or something.<br/>
<br/>
Not only is there a tangible incentive, but a visible ladder will really get all our competitive juices flowing, and would (with out a doubt) increase tournament turnouts...<br/>
<br/>
All it would require is for someone to update the ladder every week (either manually or through an automated system).<br/>
