Open or Members only?
My original proposal for a series of regional tournaments leading up to a national champonship tournament was to only allow paid MFCA members to participate.
While our mission is to promote and educate to the public the game and hobby as a whole, I think we have to keep MFCA sponsored or sanctioned competitions (whether league or tournament) open only to paid MFCA members. Otherwise, why join the MFCA??
Certainly we can invite media to the events to provide local and national coverage. But we are not selling a product like Miggle (or any other vendor) who uses these events to primarily promote and sell their products to help offset the cost of the events.
I think we should provide the opportunity for vendors to promote their products at MFCA events but at a nominal fee for space with a discount to MFCA Business Sponsors.
Just my opinions.
