Quick bit of math, and I guess it all depends on the 'value' of Barry... [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

The general rule of thumb seems to be that $1 = ~62.8 fpps. (This is the value of a tourney ticket in the store - 13,500 fpps gets you a $215 tourney ticket.)

This tourney has a $6,800 prize pool, so in theory it should cost a total of 426,792 fpps.

426,792 / 8 players = 53,371.5 fpps. Not a good value at the current price of 60k.

426,792 / 7 players = 60,996 fpps. It appears that the way Stars priced it out is by looking at the people who are PAYING to play.

If Barry is not eligible for the money, the value is good.

If Barry is, however, eligible, this is not a good value - the participants are sponsoring him, not Stars.
