As originally announced in this post, Brave (creators of the Brave Browser and Basic Attention Token (BAT)) will be sponsoring a series of 12 Splinterlands tournaments over the course of four weeks with approximately $5,000 in prizes paid out in total!

The second week of tournaments have just been created and put live for players to start entering and they include a number of changes from the first round. The prize payouts for the tournaments have been spread over a larger number of places, giving many more players the chance to win a prize in each tournament, and the tournaments in the second round will now allow cards from all editions to be played.

The biggest change is that Brave has agreed to remove the entry requirement for the tournaments due to the extreme gas fees on the Ethereum blockchain making it overly burdensome for the majority of players. As a result, the second round of tournaments will have only a nominal entry fee of 10 DEC which is necessary to ensure that only serious players enter and the higher league tournaments (silver and above) will have a higher fee for players too far below the league level of the tournament to help ensure that these tournaments consist mostly of players of the intended leagues.

We understand that some players have already purchased and/or transferred BAT tokens in order to participate in the tournaments, however after seeing the turnout and difficulties experienced for the first set of tournaments both Splinterlands and Brave feel that it is in the best interest of both brands to remove the entry requirement and open the tournaments up to more players.

The links to the second set of three tournaments are below:

As with the first week of tournaments, Splinterlands and Brave will review the results and feedback on this set of tournaments and adjust as necessary for the following set which will be announced next week. Players can provide feedback and suggestions for tournaments in the #tournament-planning channel in the Splinterlands Discord Server.
