- 85% rental and insurance - An event like this cannot be set up in a bar. It requires dedicated space and the support of the space’s teams
- 2% Fees, overhead equipment, supplies and admin costs (Meetup, fees, marketing)
- 10% equipment (mostly the cost of moving it around to avoid buying and storing duplicate items)
- 3% Silly little prizesHow Points For Style Arena Works:
--------------------------------------------------- There’s 4 kinds of tokens you can earn: Style, Challenge, Guardian and Built Different
- Challenge and Guardian are considered chaos tokens because they affect gameplay by applying effects.
- We’ll crowd source a list of effects players can choose from for Challenge and Guardian chaos effects.
How chaos tokens affect gameplay:
- Challenge effects apply to the Challenged player no matter who they face
- Guardian effects apply to any player who faces the Guarded player
- Guarded players will be asked to use their most unique operator/skin
How tokens are earned
After each match:- We'll put up a poll. You'll vote to award Style tokens to players who impressed you with clutch plays, clippable moments, hilarious bloopers, or just being awesome to play with
- Hosts will award chaos tokens to keep games competitive and fun
- Top performers get a Challenge token - these are badges of honor for being skilled enough to play on hard mode
- Players who need a boost will get a Guardian token
- Manage to top the leaderboard while Challenged? Get a Built Different token for being unstoppable!
At the end, hosts tally up the tokens and hand out prizes and titles.
