I came up with an idea.
Since newer players don't stand much of a chance winning these things I think there should be 1 prize that is awarded to a player that did not get in the top 3. A participants name should be randomly drawn to get said prize. The prize doesn't need to be huge, and it would give extra incentive for smaller players to join in since they now have a chance at winning something.
Thoughts?

Re: Tournament Prizes
there is a price for last place getter ..
but maybe a prise for the highest rank newcomer to Tourneys.. some newbs have done very well in past events
I'd also like to see a ban on the same ppl being eligible for a prize.. or a reduction in what you get if you are a past winner...

Re: Tournament Prizes
Would be cool if the top 10 got something as well possibly even just 1 max turn refill?

that's not just a noobie prize though is it? anyone no matter how many tourney's they have been in can get it
hense why I suggested the highest place player in their initial tourney .. you already have the thingy that tells you how many tourney's an accounts been in
Would help encourage new ppl to join and to actively participate not just join to get the achievement ticked of the list

That doesn't refine the prize to noobs only (unless you want tournament noobs to get the prize..which kinda makes no sense...).
Low leveled players get a planetary boost anyway, there isn't really much need for giving out prizes for people who sucked, or were otherwise too lazy to do anything.
@tziki again, activity can't really be measured except in terms of AT's used or planets destroyed, both in which case will most likely be rewarded to ranks 1, 2 or 3 anyway.
@kikaz, I was considering having a small participation prize to stop a few people **Filtered** about how they can't farm or they don't get planets or income etc. Probably being 1k turns or something...

Re: Tournament Prizes
lol well I don't think everyone should get something, that would just be lame, but making it to the final 10 when 60 people sign up is kind of an accomplishment is all I was saying.

Re: Tournament Prizes
Well, I think giving out a prize to everyone is dumb. That would be like schools nowadays that give everybody trophies just for participating. Doesn't teach real world values. I am saying just 1 prize awarded randomly to encourage participation. Anyone can get it big or small. Now I know that statement goes against my "Real world values" statement because someone would get a prize just for participating, but I am not saying give it to everyone. Just one person to encourage that extra participation.
Of course there is a flip side to that coin. This could make it so alot more people join in just for the chance at that particular prize but don't do anything knowing they might get something for nothing. But hey, more farms for the actives.

So what you're saying is the people that do well should be punished? That's ridiculous. If/when you're the best, it should show that you're the best. You should never be penalized for being number 1.
I Think top 8-10 getting a turn refill is fair. I think it's tough to boost activity/participation no matter what.
Giving a random prize, not so fond of that either. You don't want people entering something just in hopes of gettng a prize without doing anything.

Re: Tournament Prizes
I think there is no need to boost activity as long as the Tournament start is not bugged.
I know 5 members of our alliance missed the 'cut' when we were all kicked out and had to re-apply quickly.
Last Tournament had what, 120 players? This one had 68, but if my observation is correct and more universally applicable, there would have been a lot more. So yeah, squarely on the glitch.
Nonsense like 'participation awards' should be discarded as the spam it is if it were up to me. *grin* Whine about not being able to square off against the top players all you like, but the first achievement that actually requires you to "WIN" a Tournament is so far off, that by the time you are eligible for that one, your account will be such a killer that your point will be moot.

That is a very good point.
So the random prize idea is dumb. I do like the idea that someone else pointed out about the top 10 or so getting a turn refill for their efforts. Top ten is a decent achievement.
Also once the tournaments are automated they will occur more often so we wont have to wait an extremely long time to get those achievements when we get to that point.

Re: Tournament Prizes
I would not say that it is a dumb idea, I just doubt that it will go far in achieving what you have in mind.
The top 10 turn refill seems like reasonable incentive, while I doubt that it is necessary, it cannot harm to put something innocuous like that in. *grin*
