My reason for not joining this tournament isn’t about ship cost. It’s about the unlikelihood of wining anything and thus wasting my time.
Why would I waste my time losing to players who have millions more SP and experience than I do?
The abilities of my under-powered T1 Frigate would be like a gnat fighting an eagle.
If you wish to create a tournament at least make sure that the participants are matched in abilities. You don’t see motocross competitions mixing adults and children, do you?
Sorry, I’m a realist, I can’t escape it.
I do hope your competition is a success.
