Next year's edition will be held in the new arena. If you want to spend an afternoon in the old barn it's the best time.
Like would this honestly happen in real life?
Okay so hear me out people...
What if Epic made amateur tournaments with smaller but yet, still rewarding prize pools?
Tournaments are filled with some of the most insane players in the community, but what if they found a way to work around that so that pros could play in pro tournaments, and amateurs have slightly less challenging tournaments by playing in something like a “Pee-Wee” Tournament?
I feel like they could categorize these type of tournaments by how long your account has been active with the amount of wins you have. This way, people don’t create smurf accounts to try to win.
Example: account must be active for at least a year with 700 wins or less to qualify in “Pee-Wee” Tournament.
Same rules as any other tournament. Must be 13 years of age or older, etc.
Prize pools are small, but still rewarding.
Example: 1st Place - $300 2nd Place - $175 3rd Place - $50
OR
Example: 1st Place - 13,500 VBucks 2nd Place - 10,000 VBucks 3rd Place - 5,000 VBucks
(I decided to add VBucks as an option for earnings considering a Pee Wee Cup wouldn’t be as challenging as every other tournament, but still a good incentive for people to play)
They could make it like the Daily Trios Cup where a certain time every day for about 2 weeks.
Example:
Daily Pee Wee Cup (Solo, Duos, Trios) 8/3/2020 - 8/17/2020 — 3 PM - 7PM EST
I know this isn’t something Epic will probably ever do because it makes more sense to reward the best players in the game, but I just had a random idea of this and decided to share it.
Because my Sales Director loves me (or understands how much I loathe kids) she told my FDM to make sure that I was not working last night when TWO pee wee hockey teams checked into our hotel. My coworker (hereon out referred to as BadAss) was scheduled to be here. She's fairly cool and chill when it comes to kids and the suite shop, so she took the fact that they were coming in stride. Until she actually got here and even with only the six rooms we'd checked in early were making the lobby deafening with kids being kids stuff. She figured that's as bad as it would get, but no! The parents from one team snuck an 18 pack of Bud Light into our breakfast area and then ordered 12 pizzas and decided to have an impromptu pizza party. Typically we don't care if they want to eat in our breakfast area, but the beer thing did it for her. She walked over and informed them that they couldn't drink in the lobby. While that was going on there were a shit ton of kids (not supervised) in our pool area. There was another woman with her son in there just trying to swim around and the kids from the hockey team kept splashing her kid. She asked them to stop, they stop for five minutes and then continue. She asked them to stop again and then they decide to pull out a ball and play pass. Okay, fine. Cool they're leaving her kid alone. THEN one of these "little dears" hits the little kid on the head with his ball! The woman leaves the pool area with her kid and comes to the front desk in tears. BadAss gets our public space person on it and a shit ton of kids are kicked out of the pool and sent to their rooms....WHILE THEIR PARENTS ARE HAVING PIZZA IN THE LOBBY.
I commend BadAss and SweePublicSpaceLady for doing their jobs so well last night. They were a nightmare to deal with and I only dealt with them for a bit of check out. For those of you who deal with this situation on a regular basis, YOU'RE the real MVPS of the industry.
