    Tournaments!

    Official:
    Official, city-state sanctioned tournaments occur every 8 (or 6) days — so every week it starts on a new day. The tournament also rotates between Gridania, Limsa and Ul'dah.

    Each tournament has one main match and various smaller matches. The matches have different rules which could vary from your old favorites from TT or even something as simple as an Ul'dah tournament requiring each player to have a Thanalan Regional card in their playing deck. Matches would have preferred rank ranges: 1-10, 11-30, 31-50.

    Entry requires a modest entrance fee — IOUs not excepted — and the prizes involve a piece of the pot, cards, items or tournament points.



    Unofficial:
    Unofficial tournaments don't occur as often (twice a month) and their location is subject to change. Varying from a back alley in one of the cities to some out of the way place out in Eorzea. But the potential rewards make up for the inconvenience.

    One of the NPCs in the Pugilist guild knows the location of the next tournament and the secret to getting in, but information is never free...

    Once you finagle Tiny's Triple Triad Tournament NPC linkpearl out of him, every week it'll flash and lets you know where the tournament is being held and any other pertinent facts.

    I can think of no better way to keep the gil circulating. It'd be like the texas hold em of Uldah!
