I am often caught in the middle of many opinions on this issue and I think the best solution is to see where the SPS stake votes on this issue.
Do not bring back entry fees.
Keep things as they are right now.
Create standardized entry fees and burn them.
This means that each league would have a set fee. All fees would be burned.
For example, 1 SPS novice, 2 SPS bronze, 4 SPS silver, 7 SPS gold, 10 SPS Diamond. To be clear, these numbers are simply for context, if this option passes we'll hold a poll for what the fees should be.
Create standardized entry fees and keep them.
Same as the previous option, but the fees collected would remain in the tournament account for potential future use.
Bring back refund tier prizes.
Take about 20% of the rewards and use them for "refund tier prizes" like we used to do. Any unused tokens or entry fees will go back to the tournament account.
