Newbies might be wondering the need to participate in tournaments. First, it's a good way to improve one's skills. Facing other players who are probably better or technically sound in battles can help sharpen your own skills too. It might prove too hard at first, but I believe the more one does something, the more that person gets better at it.

This is why I advise newbies to manage their expectations when participating in tournaments. Its okay to strive to win, but I Believe that what's more important is the experience, the lessons learned and the skill set gained.

Furthermore, like I mentioned before, there are rewards that come from tournaments. Such rewards can do a lot to give newbies a smooth and incredible time in splinterlands.
