You don't need to face people willing to pay $5 to enter a tournament to get better (come to my League and you will get better).
OP exists to grow the game. If tourneys were geared towards people willing to pay $5 to play, tourney attendance would be rather small. Many play for the love of the game and the challenge. Anything else is just extra gravy.
I guess my view is a bit skewed since I pay $5/week for league, so I notice a LOT more players showing up for the free events only. If the entry fee were there for the tournaments (like how we ALREADY pay) then we'd keep the normal attendance, if not more, because of those that travel for them.
If league were free, then I'd be against the entry fee because more people would show up anyway...not just because they don't have to pay.
