I was a bit tongue-in-cheek yesterday in one of the SBs when I said we need another Logitech tournament, but I do think contests with real prizes would be a great way to generate excitement.
For instance, we don't need Entrance Tournaments anymore, but how about a Commencement Tournament at the beginning of each season with not only a USL Award recognition to the winning team, but also prizes? One format could be the MVP of the winning tournament squad gets the biggest prize and every member of that winning squad gets a smaller participation prize.
The prize can be something like a Best Buy gift card since then people can apply it to whatever they want. We don't need to be constrained to a particular product since it's not actually sponsored. While I'd be willing to entirely fund the first event (for reasonable prizes), it would obviously be a lot better if we could crowdfund these contests.
