I'm going to try and keep this concept short and simple.

I'm planning on hosting short, small tournaments offering the chance for people to actually win money for playing minecraft.

How will it work?

One of the tournaments I will be hosting is called "PvP Frenzy". Users will be given the chance to bet on eachother in PvP's and can have the chance to win almost double.

All pvp frenzy matches will take place on a server that has nothing but one game mode, designed purely for the tournament. It will have a clear map (to keep lag to a minimum).

Players can have tools (e.g. golden apples, arrows etc) if and only both sides agree to it before the match starts.


Rules

All players must bet at least £5 on themselves if they wish to participate. They will be randomly given a opponent (unless they specify otherwise) that has betted the exact same as them to PvP with. There will be a total of 2 rounds per match.

Example - Player 1 bets £5 on himself, while player 2 also bets £5 on himself. They both fight, player 1 wins the first round and the second round. Player 1 is the winner and takes home the money.

Alternatively, if both rounds have been won by different players, they will then proceed onto round 3, which will be the decider.

Gameplay

Cheating/hacks is strictly forbidden. The servers will be installed with premium anti cheat plugins already, and players will also be required to record their screens when pvping. The recordings on both sides must be submitted to the host at the end of the match.

Payment

For each match, I will be taking a 20% commission. So for example, if 2 players bet £30 on each other (so £60 in total), then I will take £12 and £48 will go to the winner. All transactions will take place on PayPal and PayPal only.


If you wish to participate, please let me know in the comments section. I have already done a few matches & all feedback is still welcome.

If you loose a match then you loose money obviously. We cant have people paying nothing and then winning money from thin air?

this gameconcept exists already. People play for bitcoins at playmc.com

I cannot see it on there, and it doesn't look like the main concept that playmc uses, and looks more like a concept the players made themselves.

here, i'll post it here for you since you somehow couldn't see it on their site

Where does it say that on the site?

EDIT: Seen it That server requires your minecraft.net password, and it also is not a tournament, like my concept is. It also pays you a lot less money ($.0025) incase anyones interested.

I mean it's an interesting idea, but not for a primary game mode. Servers have tried this and failed, so I wouldn't get to hype about something that probably won't work.

MCPvP did something like this, but it wasn't their main game mode, so they got away with it and it worked out pretty well for them. I would do this as an event that occurs every now and then instead of a dedicated game mode.

Hi, thanks for your honest advice. I'm not considering this to be a full time thing, and the server will mostly be open only during matches. Otherwise, I might leave it for people just to come on for general pvp matches with 0 lag etc.[DOUBLEPOST=1491224784][/DOUBLEPOST]

We are still developing the faction-like event, just seeing how much of a success the 1v1ns are at the moment. So far, it looks like it's a success and the faction-like tournaments will be released soon :)
