Greetings.
We like to try new things every now and then. Some of these things work out brilliantly, like the introduction of Starcraft II competitions and ongoing improvements to our Internet access system. Other things don't work out so well. One transition we had thought would work out better would be moving to a pre-pay only system.
We found that there's still a percentage of people out there who don't like the hassle-free merits of pre-paying. We'd like to know why this is - so maybe we can do this better in the future or perhaps we always need to offer a pay-on-the-day system.
Our next event (and our September event) will have both pre-pay and pay-at-the-door options as we've done in the past.
