Dual Duel, PR's, chasing Ego and etc...

Chess tournaments have no trouble getting more than 8 players. However, their entry fee is a LOT less.

Besides the $1,000 barrier to entry, the rake also hurts equity. That is NOT a criticism of rakes, which I wholeheartedly support. But perhaps raking only the score side would double the attendance. Then the total rake would be unchanged, and players without insanely low PRs would get a better shake, so to speak.
