Both were dismal failures. Too many variables with that many people. Tank crashes, people leaving the hobby, personal integrity issues. I'm not trusting enough to participate.
That being said, it'd be a great thing if it worked. I'd look on your $200 investment as a gamble. Great if it pays off, but be prepared to lose it all. Very risky.
Great in concept, but difficult in execution. IMO, a smaller number of participants, like 4 max, all local to each other, with a higher buy in per person, has a better chance of success.
