lets hope that poster does not reflect how the OÜ Tier will look by than.

Are you trying to beat Cypher 2 GC Tms prize for an official?

[DoctorPBC]

Prize isn't so bad, it's good for those making new comps

I actually really like this prize.

[Munya]

THe prize is great, most tournaments need to go away from the shiny standard prize.

[DrCraig]

Tranz made a bad prize on purpose, he likes the attention.

[londark]

To be honest, for a Standard tourney this looks a little low, i've been buying everstones for 40K each, PP Max for 50K so in the end a more or less 600K prize doesn't look much appealing, to me at least.

 

 

 

Anyway, happy to see lots of officials around

 

EDIT: Also, don't get me wrong, i'm not complaining about the lack of shiny prize, i like the fact that this time around the prize is actually usefull

Well I think the thing also is we will have A LOT of standard tournaments for a few months, so to not float the game with shinies things like 10x brace of choice or somethings could be cool too. (or 20 ya know)

[londark]

I was honestly thinking of Shards, but Braces work as well

[Gunthug]

I like the idea of the prize, but I think the value should at least match a mid-tier shiny. Standards are generally regarded as a true test of skill in the competitive environment, so why would a standard get a 600k prize when a gimmick rountinely gives 10m+? Hell, even the oceanic prize was about 5m worth.

 

I would fucking love winning a tourney and getting even 2m worth of breeding supplies. but 600k is too low imo

The prize is terrible.

[BurntZebra]

winning for glory and not the prize or something like that

[DrCraig]

The prize is terrible.

This guy is giving us 5 rocks and some flintstone vitamins.

[Kiliminati]

Tranz I know you don't like OP prizes but... this is just... what

Edit: Instead of just shitting on the prize you picked, maybe double the current PP Max and Everstone yield? Then it wouldn't be [i]all[/i] that bad.

Lol is this a troll?

[Munya]

Jesus fucking christ, I'm not getting a shiny so I'm gonna cry about it and not compete.

[ThinkNice]

Jesus fucking christ, I'm not getting a shiny so I'm gonna cry about it and not compete.

I mean, the prize is.... like not even worth half a shiny.

I'd go for some PP maxes. Those things are hard to get your hands on.

I dont need glory, I need cash. Glory doesnt make me richer.

=) Thank you forf brah, it's a good reminder on why we play this game. Unfortunately though, with my schedule I don't get the opportunity to play in many of these and the financial limitations are beyond difficult. While I do want to win, putting myself into a position to win costs money. Money I don't have. Thus the necessity for a beneficial prize has become more imminent on my decisions of when to sacrifice important study time to an official that will cost me about 200k in yen and 4-5 hours of time.

 

On the prize itself, I would recommend a small bump. Giving out items is a really great idea with the number of officials available now, but this prize does seem a little bit small.

 

This may be out of place, but I have a small recommendation. Host one weekly standard with a quality Shiny Prize (5+ value) and the other tournaments throughout the week should have prizes worth about 500k (10 everstones + 10 PP Ups for 1st and 2nd respectively). Once the other tiers are established we can go back to lower tier shiny prizes for each standard. Prizes for gimmicks can be established on difficult, commitment time, and the host.
