I would suggest removing monetary fees and payouts. I can't see it helping your cause.

I would also suggest dialing back the seriousness, and the treatment as a large scale tournament. We're lucky to see more than 4 teams in a regular SCS, and the largest events have 8+ teams in the past. You're hosting an exclusively local event, which decreases the chance of turnout even more. Organize it and treat it to the scale that is realistic to GOIO.

I have been dialing it back. some of the fees are required by the cave to use their computers. hopefully in the near future we will be moving some of the tournaments online.
