Hm that could work, though I wonder if it would hurt the turnout. I like the idea though.
Another version of this could be an entrance fee for specific events where the house takes say 20% of the pool, winner gets 60% and 2nd place gets 20%. This of course could also hurt the turnout for specific events as well. I'm not sure that the people who know they won't win will even bother to pay money just to lose.
I suppose a monthly pass would be better, now that I think about it. For a once a month fee you get access to any and all events that take place in the event area. That way people couldn't choose to pay for a pass for select events and if they paid for access, not going would be like wasting money! It would be tough to see how it would play out and I'm not sure if knew players would like it much. Starting out and having to pay in order to participate is a little mean.
