Money: The RPG itself never emphasized monetary gain, but in the game, the tournament offers prize money (since I doubt they'd be handing out 'credits for new techniques'):
1st Place: @1,000,000 2nd Place: @500,000 3rd Place: @250,000 4th Place: @100,000 All others who don't make it to the final matches will receive @500 per victory.
AND DON'T FORGET THE COVETED CHAMPIONSHIP BELT!!! (I think I'll be making this a Class III ability of some sort for added incentive)
Credits: For participating, you'll earn one credit Each victory will earn one credit The Third place winner will receive 3 credits for the final battle Second Place will receive 5 credits for the final battle First Place will receive 7 credits and one 'wish' from the administrator.
