I'm...not so sure I like this idea, to be honest. The Grindstone is a stable event with a very clear purpose, and the prize money** is just  supposed to be a bit of gravy on a night of suspenseful by-the-roll fighting. The event is a success because of it's very...standard...nature and rocking that boat may lead to trouble.Â
Like -- hmm. I sent people to the Grindstone all the time, especially newcomers, with a very specific idea of what the event/competition is all about. I know I'm not the only one who does that, so you might end up with a bunch of new people (unaware of this planning) who show up for it and don't get what they expect.Â
The PREMISE is cool...but the idea itself, to me, is iffy. That's just my opinion, though!
**The large prize comes with...complications. Back in the day people would all put up 500 gil and the organizers would put up a bit for a decent little pot. I know the current organizers had started offering material rewards as well. When this thing starts being about the money...well, you know what that does to things.
