Sit n Go's

I love the tourneys here at SC, but sometimes I don't have a ton of time (or attention span for that matter) to sit in a full tourney with 80, 90, 200 people. Most of the time when I look at the sit n go's there's only one or two people signed up. I will sign up and then after waiting for 10 minutes, one of the others drop out. More people might be enticed to play at the sit n go's if there were promotional prizes given. Something simple like a t-shirt, deck of cards, baseball hat. Now I realize that all this costs money but I for one can tell you that I would go around in that stuff. I got my Doyle's sweatshirt just before he shut it down and I love that shirt.
Now then, I know that some of you (including SC management) might be thinking that the site gives enough with PointBuilder tourneys, but if the idea of the site right now is to encourage membership then a great way to do that is through promotional merchandise. If not at the Sit n Go's then at least how about offering merchandise for some of the points that have been earned?
If there is already merchandise available on the site, then a better job needs to be done of advertising it, 'cause I don't see it anywhere.
Thanks for taking two minutes and reading my blog.
