OK, maybe my previous prize ideas were ill-conceived, but here is a thread where you can post ideas for other TB moderators. I'll get it started with a couple of my own, but again, I may not be the best person for this ;)
-FIBS T-shirts of course
-a little glory on the home page of this web site for an established regular tournament not already glorified on fibsleagammon, e.g. "Current TB weekly blitz winner: ____"
-burn a CD for them: theopencd.org (collection of best OSS), installable gnubg and other OS bg sw
-postcards (alef's idea)
What about giving tourneybot some repbot points to confer upon winners of tourneys? Not a large amount, but something that might be worth playing for....

If by that you mean TourneyBot automatically vouching for the winner of a tourney, that's not going to happen for several reasons.
Maybe we should create a money-bot that acts as a bank.
We can create fibs money and we could create prices in fibs money.
With fibsmoney we can buy:
- fibs t-shirts
- fibs house (we need a real-estate-bot for that)
- fibs gifts (gift-shop bot)
and so on .... sort of like monopoly
:lol:
Sorry.. just some weird idea.. i am in a funny mood...
Maybe what i am trying to say is that i think the whole debate on these prices is futile. The one price should be the honour of winning. Maybe even to get mentione in a winners hall of fame on the web.. but that is about it in my opinion.
Just my 2 cents...

An interesting idea! Firstly, what do we call this FIBS currency? Maybe FIB$?
For different FIBS tournaments you could win a certain number, perhaps FIB$1 for a quick TourneyBot 1ptr blitz and up to FIB$25 for winning overall in a session of the League (http://fibsleagammon.free.fr/league.php).
This might take some organizing and generosity, but I bet we can find some donated gifts for your FIB$:
-T-shirts (of course!)
-Secondhand bg books, dice, etc from Fibsters
-New bg books, software from publishers during promotions
I'm sure we could get some donated membership prizes from GammonVillage (http://www.gammonvillage.com/backgammon/index.cfm), GammOnLine (http://www.gammonline.com/), GamesGrid (http://www.gamesgrid.com/), TrueMoneyGames (http://www.truemoneygames.com/), etc...
