Yeah, if I didn't absolutely love hosting tourneys for some absolutely unknown reason, there would be nothing like the REALTourney stuff. To be totally blunt, a lot of the effort I put into the tournaments goes seemingly unappreciated by the community as a whole. I know that sounds really shitty, and I realize that a lot of people like the tourneys. But throwing 100s of hours into tourneys isn't something a lot of people have the luxury of doing. And a lot of the ones that do have time make tourneys that go to complete shit as well (let's not name any names).
It's barely worth doing stuff if I'll be able to count signups on two hands, have to deal with hackers, hopelessly fiddle with the broken heap of ecommerce that is paypal, etc. If it weren't for fantastic people like KaraBear that contribute to the prizepots, it wouldn't be viable at all.
This is from the perspective of someone who tries really hard to make these things work. It's really frustrating. It's why you'll see people host a few decent tourneys and then never do it ever again.
