I dunno how people ever thought they could get away with suing LOL. Smash tournament money stuff is all 100% under-the-table, Plank didn't make (and therefore didn't break) any contracts so there was no feasibility of a lawsuit ever happening.

Whatever, lol. Good to see people step up for Armada.

Its def not under the table. Its considered a contest of skill.

While there were no prize percentages listed, you cannot determine exactly how much an specific individual was to earn....however there is enough evidence to suppose a small claims law suit.

Basically its rough justice...and very easy. Its very very reasonable for the ppl who placed to expect money back...why because we run smash tourneys all the time, its what is expected, and there was no reason to assume otherwise. Plairnk said that he was planning on paying out to top 16ppl(8teams), so thats at minimum a statement on who gets paid. There was a venue fee which can very well be argued was to cover tournament expenses...because thats the norm, and on a very large scale thats the norm.

Entry fee is prize pot. the number of entrants is known so the pot aka money owed can be determined. it would be up to the ppl to do a lil math and agreeing on the percentages. The pot thats owed is set in stone, as long as the 16 can come to an agreement on the distribution then its all good.


OP would count as a verbal contract, a u enter under these stipulations kinda thing. Just the fact that its very reasonable to suspect that you would get paid based on your performance, is enough to take it to court. I mean, how could u argue against, I expected to be paid based on how pound 1-4 were ran, and then name every smash tournament that you can think of lol.

Its EZ. any competent judge would award them something...Problem is that most places are stat max at 5K. which means a joint suits is a bad idea if u want all your money. So he would get sued more than once or they would have to hire lawyers and suit for the entire 10 K...which is a waste of money.

Isn't the prize percentages listed on the Pound 5 tournament listings thread? That counts as written I'm pretty sure. The problem is not knowing the turnout with proof. Plus you'd lose money probably even if you won the case, I think PP and Ally are owed the most money. Hopefully people don't think "4 pounds went fine, let it slide" because thats a terrible mentality. he dun goofed and its just an ode to the fact that there aren't MANY trustworthy TO's outside DBR and GC Guy. Hopefully sheezy never happens like that again and hopefully plank didnt pocket the money because that'd be way cold.

everyone who plays LoL should just get good at MLG Halo and play with me

I **** wit the Andre lol

Na, you should be able to just look at the bracket information Jem. I obviously mean including pools and **** too. Even so, the registration page has the entrants, its best to just go off that because no refunds were given after a certain point...so whoever was on the list had paid for the pot, thats the figure I would use anyway.

yea its mad gay **** happened like that, and GC dude does ****, wish that ***** would post on smashboards and say hi or somethin tho lol

So I just got done reading through one (of the many) pound 5 threads.....

All i have to say is....

Evan, your senior project tourney on the 26th better not be a scam LOLLLL

hahaha jk
Ya lol, plank definitely took "planking" to a whole other level. Also I pay out in cash on the spot and i think the wa melee community would collectively mug me if i didn't give payouts/ i would stop going to tourney and that's not happening.

That's why I'm inviting you guys. If i didn't i probably would have all the money go to a nonprofit. Believe me I already thought about this.

And who the **** is the boy who caught too many quatros, no comprende senyor.

lol, I agree wit u ciz..but its there, and the thought of anthony doing it was funny to me....whatever.

@spines lol-well u can get in tight with us just by wanting to get good at melee. Everyone except Vish(numberonenacho) is really chill, he plays falcon and has a really really bad attitude. Bring food if u want to, but just know u dont have to in order to make friends.

Brawls gay

I can readily assure you that lame, overdone falcon jokes are not the way to "get into" the melee community. It just makes you look like what you are - a brawl player who is trying too hard >_>

No offense haha. we still cool ^__^ just telling it like it is

Oh LOL, I thought you were saying "i want to get into the melee community easily lol" in response to Ciz talking about the Falcon Steal thing. So I thought you were saying you were trying to include falcon-based humor in your signature explicitly to fit in with melee players. >_>

My bad haha.

Word, food *****.


Edit: Also, try to edit your posts instead of double posting unless it's like, really important and you explicitly want to bump the thread.
