Think it over. .... You are correct, however, in stating that players that don't play often enough simply lose interest and leave. I'm having the same problem trying to get friends playing. .... If you really want to encourage newbies, you need to have a newbie workshop and tutorial or even a newbie league where newbies play newbies and learn together. d20books Jeff Jeff, If you want new players you must help them to learn how to find the fun.
Well, like I said, I'm teaching my 9-year-old how to play and he is playing online on the site. I have a few friends that I'm trying to get ramped up too, including one with a 7-year-old gamer-in-training like me.
Since I don't play in tournaments, I create several games all the time and try to have a large enough pool of games going to keep me occupied during the day 
I think the newbie tournament is the way to go. I know that gathering up all the newbies would allow everyone to join games and learn together, including allowing instructors to demonstrate how the rules work. Understanding how the speed and aircraft charts determine the moves you can make is the biggest hurdle.
