      wtf

      I've complained in the past about the fees you take, but at least in those cases I had some understanding that running a live event does involve costs, such as the hall rental or your previously referenced (but somewhat nebulous) insurance and equipment. What in god's name justifies taking a 50% rake for an online tournament?

              The earlier link to registered players seems broken. Below is the link:
