There is no way on earth that Russ or Chris will consider giving out regular non-sub tourneys. You are lucky that occasionaly there's a non-sub tournament. But there's no point in you continuing your crusade for regular non-sub tourneys, because it ain't going to happen.

Why not take out a monthly sub for only $5.95 and then you can join a tourney. That way you get the taste of tourneys and membership privileges
Surely you can afford $5.95? Must be less than a months pocket money surely, or you could even ask your mom and pop for this as a birthday present.
people on rhp should take note- 25 dollars or so a year subscription is loose change to most of us, however in some less fortunate countries it could take someone a month to earn that kind of money. Yes, many do not subscribe because they don't want to part w. their money. But i'm sure that in some cases people just cannot afford to. I think a one-off tournament for non members is ok, where they can play a maximum of six games (i.e. they are seperated into groups of 4). If this is held once every 9 months or so, i don't see the harm in that.
Well if you get 1 tournament every 9 months then most people wont subscribe also if people dont subscribe then the site will dissappear.They had a non sub tournament before and as stated before only a few subscribed so the site didnt really gain anything from it.....
But if you dont want to pay then be happy you get 6 games for free thats more than enough.
I see you were a former subscriber hope you subscribe again and supprt this awesome site for another year.
I accept your comments and maybe u r right. Perhaps a dual, whereby they only get two games. About this non sub tournament before - was this the only one that there has ever been, as making a judgement based on one tournament is a little unfair. And also was this tournament properly advertised to non members as well? And it has been said only a few subscribed to the site as a result of the tournament, but what about the publicity it generated, and maybe non-members who didn't enter the tournament joined as a result. I remember when i first joined the site and realised that after playing a bit, i didn't want my number of games resistricted and i wanted to access all feactures of the site. Maybe a one-off tourni will wet thier appetite. I do think this is an excellently run site and members should rightly pay for the privilage of using it.
Yes i will of course i will subscribe again, my membership got taken away a few weeks ago without me receiving any notice. When i tried to renew it, it said that people not living in the uk could not use mastreo as a form of card payment, which is the only card i have. I wanted to restrict my games number anyway but when i look at the tournaments page i still feel 'uneasy' that i can't enter one, even though i have no intention of doing so currently.
If you don't pay you don't play in tournaments is my view, but I take the point about letting non-subscribers have 'taster' tournaments.
Suggest a way forward is to let new users for a period of one month to join tournments only for provisional ranking players.
Thereafter they must either pay the subs or leave the site. Why should subscribers pay for a bunch of freeloaders?
