Why are you using pot money to pay for your own personal ventures? We'd gladly just bring our own TV's so the pot money remains untampered. I've hosted many many many tournaments and events that have all gone extremely well so I don't know what the **** you're talking about. Why are you paying yourselves for this? It doesn't take 8 people to run a tournament nor does it take 3. That's just bull****.
I'm sorry, your math does not add up here. Even if you bought all the things you were talking about, you're still going to have a lot of money left over.
BTW, you aren't hosting a professional tournament.
But you know what's funny, you fell for my mindgame Eydie.
I earlier posted saying that if 128 people came, that's a 3200 dollar pot, which about 900 of that would go to the Wii, DS, and rental fee. I said that the $2300 approximately left over should go to the pot, but Eydie posted saying it was all being eaten up by things. Things like 12 LCD Tvs they bought, 50 dollars for every tournament director, and other "expenditures"
There aren't going to be 128 people coming to this. There aren't going to be 50 people coming to this.
12 LCD Tv's works out to be about $1440.
Say you get *MAYBE* 40 people to come to this. That's only $1000 bucks pot money. (40 people x 25 dollars) I doubt that many will come. You've already told me you're taking $400 dollars from that to Tournament Directors, and you're going to pay a lot for the room. That leaves absolutely no room for the prizes you're giving, and no way in hell can you pay for the LCDs and furniture you "bought" for this tournament.
You're in the hole big time if your earlier post is correct. Which is why you're lying somewhere.
Don't go to this tournament. Go to Seasons of Smash.
Let's recap:
This tournament:
Bad prizes in comparison to pot
Terrible, noobass rulesets
Shady business going on with the directors
Entering means you're abetting that
Seasons of Smash is the better tournament. Go to that.
