You could think about handicapping the tournament.  

 

Rank players based on skill (say 1-5, with 5 being best).   Higher ranked players would have to win more game vs. a lower ranked player to advance based on each player's ranking.

 

In other words, if 2 players were matched together, and one was elite (ranked a 5), and the other was good (ranked a 2), the elite player would have to win 5 games to advance, vs. the good player having to win 2 games to advance.

 

Not perfect, but certainly gives the lower ranked player more of a chance.  A system similar to this is used in billiard tournaments.

 

This is a brilliant idea.

I wont be competing in this however if you wish i will rate the player's involved from 1-5 as a neutral party.

well... how much more money needed. If you need some cash added I can add some. Don't count me in tho, i won't win anyway. Just to get some others (players who can't pay) in also.

Should allow people to sponsor other players

u just gave me an idea how this tournament should run like (so everyone has the same "chances")

 

you put together a top 8, top 10, top 12, whatever. these participants will play the tournament but cant pay the buy-ins.

 

they have to be sponsored by other people, the potential winnings are splitted beetwen participant and sponsor (can still be discussed how it should be splitted, 50-50 or 60-40 in favor to sponsor because he takes the risk, etc).

 

a participant may aswell be sponsored by multiple sponsors, but then the possible winnings will be lower, and ofcourse the losses higher. so betting on an underdog such as me might give u the best payouts.

 

the best would be if everyone had 1 or 2 or 3, etc (not a too big difference, also still can be discussed)... sponsors, just to make it fair.

 

thoughts? likes?

You are sort of describing a Calcutta, a form of auction-style gambling very popular in golf tournaments.

Yeah and poker lols

[AlliedPlayer]

Sounds good but I won't be betting on anyone, nor will I be participating in this. 

 

I hope some people can help me arrange for the people who would like to play though.
