If the question is - which is best running 8 or 9 warriors at the FTF of running a blood games (appx $60), we would offer:
1. the data from the BG has minimal value long term
2. there is minimal ROI in bloodgames - unless you can get one of the top three warriors to graduate
3. if one plans to continue playing arena warriors, the investment in fighting "real" warriors has value long term to those warriors.
4. the BG is a quick "rush" and pretty much done if you don't win.
5. the FTF warrior fights give value and fun longer as they add to the warrior base
We Consortiumites only recommend BGs as an adjunct to normal play, or to those not really looking for arena play or to those wanting to try for graduates at all costs, o to those few who seem to be very good at BG play. (It is different.)
Please understand, we are not dissing BGs at all - only comparing to the question at hand. We do participate in BGs.

I was thinking the same thing. Playing during the 'regular tourney' would be more beneficial. But the Blood Games was a lot of fun back in the Summer. I over did it showering my wife with gifts this Christmas and now am a little tight. So I can only do one.
I think the regular Face to Face will be it then.

Are you referring to running in the Face to Face vs Bloodgames or are you talking about the different versions of the Bloodgames?
I think it would be a waste to go to a Face and only participate in the Bloodgames.
If you are talking about which Bloodgames to participate in, I only run the Mail In version but can see how the Face version gives more prolonged enjoyment.
