Cash Tournament

Post by VikingChieftain »

I would like to organize a cash tournament that gives 40% to the developers, half to the winners, and 10% for admin fee.

Has that been tried before as a fundraising source? How did it go?

Do any developers or others have any advice about how to do this? Are there existing platforms I could use to organize the tournament under that are respected and above the board?

I have been playing this game on and off since around 2010. It’s a part of my childhood and adolescence and it deserves a stronger PVP community. It feels almost like an abstract game focused really on comparing the strategic and tactical prowess of the competitors, like chess or go.

It hasn't been done before as far as I know. Our official stance is that Wesnoth isn't secure enough against cheating for tournaments with monetary rewards to be worth it (see viewtopic.php?t=24277#w0mp), but you can of course do it anyway if you want to.
