I think $5 Melee singles is fine, but maybe it should be $5 per team for doubles. I also want to get around to doing that dang amateur bracket. Would using Elo ranking be sufficient to determine who can participate in that?
At this point, I think the elo's are accurate enough to qualify people to play in an amateur. If so, we would probably make it a U950. Meaning anybody 949 and below could enter. IIIIf you wanted we could do U1000, but I think there's some good players in the 950-1000 range that would benefit more from playing in the Open. Of course the open is available to anybody that wants, regardless of rating. $5 per team is good too. Wish more people were in here posting their opinions though lol.
EDIT: On second thought, maybe a U1000 is the best idea since there's only a handful that are U950. However, if we run the amateur at the same time as the open, I'm going to severely push Terrence, Nathan, Drew, and you Terral to play in the open. Here's the current list.
