Thats not my point though. If its an FTR reward tourney from stars why not make it so that the people who make the FTR community what it is ,have a decent chance at winning those seats , rather than any passing tourney player looking down the lobby and seeing a tourney with a fairly large overlay and smallish field and think ing "ooo that looks juicy, how do i get in " and then finding out " i just have to look at their facebook page". All the buyin will do is replace the freeroll password thieves with people looking to satellite in on the cheap.

FTR means nothing to them , they won't be signing up for any room promotions, unlikely to actually create an FTR account or become involved in the FTR community.

If you make it so its qualified players only , those people may think that joining FTR and getting involved may give them a chance at any future tourney like this.Once you get more active people involved it will help to drive traffic to the site and help return it to pre black friday traffic levels.
