opponents were spamming gold ammo. We can barely afford to
rent/bills so we can only buy premium time and gold on occasion and
honestly, we aren't so good at this game that we could go Pro so
what's the point of these low tier tournaments? I constantly
see complaints of players being destroyed by elite tankers with
50,000 battles or more playing low tier battles with a ridiculously
geared out tank. I made the false assumption that low tier
tournaments were to get new players into the competitive side
of Wargaming but I guess I was wrong 100%. From the looks of it,
Tournaments at a whole are nothing more than breeding grounds for
people with expendable incomes and too much time on their hands.
This is now yet another facet of the game that I am not
allowed to partake in because I do not possess the income or the
time to fund it. What a great marketing scheme. Appeal to the rich,
to hell with the middle class and poor. 
dance210: Hello Mad_Dog_Seabee, Tournaments are intended as a
semi-competitive venue for all players. They are run at all tiers,
to provide variety. Newer players are always welcome to participate
in any of our tournaments. However, due to the semi-competitive
nature, players are likely to bring a competitive loadout - Premium
ammo, Premium consumables, equipment. This doesn't mean
someone without a competitive loadout cannot or should not
participate. The 1v1 Throwdowns are great for new tournament
players, as the top 7 players in each group will earn at least some
gold. As others have mentioned, this tournament has a higher no
show rate than any of our other tournaments. While the
prizes don't pay out as deeply, y'all are welcome to try out the
Platournaments. The Platournament has special tournament rating for
all players. When a new team participates, they face off against
other new teams, before being added to the general tournament
population. This can be a good way to get your feet wet; however,
even new tournament teams may still bring a competitive loadout.
I hope that you aren't too discouraged or frustrated and
will continue to participate in tournaments in the future. As an
ex-tournament player who lost a lot, sticking with it can be fun!
