Thought some of you might be interested in the kind of gold you make.
I made 50k for 3rd, which took quite a bit of work...

How does a tournament work?

Click the big red play button, then the second tab is tournament. Bottom right where you would normally just click play, you first click join. Each tournament runs 23 hours (1 hour off in between). They start, either 1pm or 2pm our time Pete. Elo rankings, not brackets and knock out.
The last 2-3 hours people seem to squat at the top, but keeping an eye on it. So I got to 2nd with about an hour to go, checked back 20 mins later, I had dropped down to five. My pc crashed, and by the time I got back in I had just enough time to squeeze one win and get back to 3rd. But it takes quite a lot of games (weekend, might take less midweek). I had about 15-18 wins, couple of losses, and my last 10 games was prob 9 wins, one loss, with at least 5 wins in a row right at the end to get to 3rd. First was never an option, the guy had played an insane amount of wins, and was like 100 points higher than anyone else.

40K, not 50K for 3rd place. And you get much less gold (about 150 for win, incl. bonus, vs. 500+) per tournament match vs. regular ladder play.

U keep 30% of gold and rest goes to jackpot. Never play a torunament game before level up. Dunno how it is now, but in closed beta, the jackpot happyily took 70% of my 10k gold level up bonus

Ok, so played appox. 16 games in 3 hours today, got up to 31st. Earned 13777, but lost approx. 5000 in the process (gold towards jackpot). So, as long as you have an ave day (I think mine was 10 wins, 6 losses, which is very ave.) you still make gold. The meta is def. tougher in tournaments than general ladder, my win ratio is much higher on ladder
