What do you bring to the event in addition to yourself?Distance/the amount of travel requiredA big misconception newer broadcasters have is regarding prizemoney, or more specifically talent using what’s being given away asprize money as a guide to how much they can ask for. Let me tellyou it from both sides of the fence here: you cannot base your feeon how big the prize pool is, high or low. It usually comes from atotally different pot of money external to running expenses (underwhich you are certainly included) and is possibly provided by a mixof different sources.Of course, the prize money does have an effect on how big thetournament will be or on what kind of stage it will be shown, butdon’t use the prize fund as afool proof guide as to howmuch money you should earnfrom the event.One of the things you can dois determine how badly youwant to be at the eventand/or what game it’s hosting.If it’s a game you don’tenjoy or an event you don’twant to be at, then you can ofcourse ask for a higher fee on the basis that it becomes your rewardfor the event beyond actually wanting to be there.While you can have a rate card for your services, you should beprepared to be flexible with it - and in both directions of the payscale.
