Maybe a discussion for another panel, but instead of gating, each account is allowed 2 free entry tickets per day. An account can pay DEC (burned, increasing amount each ticket purchased) for extra tickets for that day. I know this suggestion would require some dev work so probably something to be tabled for now but this would allow for the upper league accounts to still participate in the low leagues if they want but would have to pay for that privilege. Likewise, a low level account could pay to play against the big boys (as long as they met the CP/SPS stake requirements) if they really wanted to.
