Why doesn’t ETF2L have an entry fee?
If it struggles for donations or funding, why doesn’t the community contribute by simply playing?

I would gladly pay one or three refined to play in ETF2L for 6v6, same applies for 9v9; even if I didn’t see a prize pool in my division.

Maincall has a one refined per player as an entry fee – albiet a completely different thing as they have only hosted cups (so far).

The cost wouldn’t have to be too substantial – maybe a refined metal two per player?
You can easily collect a refined between seasons just from item drops in TF2.

Given the ease of obtaining the metal and number of signups for S20 (295 teams, potentially more?) it could have been a significant donation, provided people would be willing to shed with one or more refined.

According to Woolen one refined is presently valued at around $00.15 cents:
295T * 6R * $00.15 = $265.50 / 235 EUR.
Where T are the number of teams and R is refined.
This is given every team has 1 player per class and no substitutes.

I think it’s a great deal for what you get – a service provided and shiny medals at the end of it all, even if you only participate.

Because 5 Euros is too much for a league that was free since the very beginning imo.

Refined trading would be easier for the sake of automation, with a trade bot.

For 15 cents or whatever it doesn’t seem worthwhile. If you made it a key a player it might make some sense and make it easier to convert it into prizes or whatever because I’m assuming you won’t just give a million ref to the winners and you buy hats with keys right?

Also a lot of people would be uncomfortable using paypal or something so making it an in game currency would make a lot of sense and a key isn’t really a stretch for a whole season for most people I’d imagine.

A key would be good, but it could be a little harder to obtain, as you can make a refined metal in no time at all:

You get around ten weapon drops per week, with a maximum of twelve, this equates to four refined minimum per month.

This would mean it would take around three and a half months to build up enough refined to get a single key at their present price, which is fine as the ETF2L seasons have a good amount of time between them.

I think four refined as an entry fee ($00.60 cents) is still reasonable, and far more worthwhile, especially if you think bigger:
295T * 6 * 4R = $1062

Factor in 9v9, subs, and additional players on rosters and it’d be quite substantial.

If there was payment I would prefer money to in-game stuff.

But if you’re going to pay money, you’re effectively going to split the amount of participants in half. It’s a double edged sword to say the least.

that or you go through the effort of exchanging it for keys which is what no one wants to do

Phnx
