In January 2010 Croatian BG Federation was founded. Since we're new, our main task is to attract new players to the game. BUT, we didn't introduce NO entry fee, because this concept brings many novices who will take all cubes and recube every turn to the highest possible stake to play just 1 game.
Rather, we have entry fee which currently is around 5% of the monthly average salary. This seems LOW entry fee for most foreigners tho.
USA is BIG country. ABT tournaments offer LOW entry fees compared to European tournaments. You simply need to attract more players. American players exist, just needs better approach i guess.
If I lived in the USA, I'd play EVERY ABT tournament in highest division, $200-$300 seems worth...I wish we had similar entries in Europe...
