Thema: Gothic Chess World Championship

I am thinking about starting the World Championship online here in September. I woud like to know if "the masses" would be interested it making it a money event?

The prestige of a World Championship for other events always includes a nice purse for the winner, a trophy worthy of display, and of course a title that means something.

If we have an event played for money, there will have to be an entrance fee.

So, you guys vote on it here. Entrance fee or no entrance fee?

I am thinking of the following for prize fund:

1. Winner gets 60% of the pot, 2nd place gets 30%, Gothic Chess Federation holds the remainder for running the tournament.

2. Winner gets 80% of the pot, 2nd place gets 10%, Gothic Chess Federation holds the remainder for running the tournament.

3. Something else??

Let me know what you think.
