I have a budget of like $70 left in my "travel budget" for good out of state players. I'm sort of just running this tournament as a venue test to see if it can host a large scale tournament come 4-6 months from now, but I am still dropping like $500 (most of it I don't expect to see come back until the next tournament I host at a larger scale) just to get KC Brawl out there and get people hyped for the next one. I think $70 would be enough to pay half for a carpool's total mileage. If you'd want more, I'd have to start a player fund real fast
And sure, you just have to let me know what circuit points entail. Like winner could get free entry or seeding points or whatever you determine.
