For the record, these prizes have not been paid out despite the fact this event was over 1.5 months ago. Neither MoMaN nor CrunCher have seen a dollar. Despite repeated promises via email, FireFlash has not paid the owed prizes.
I post this simply because with the influx of small events like these I believe it's important to hold tournament organizers accountable. Gamers who participate in events trust that their efforts will not be taken advantage of. FireFlash received the publicity for this tourney but did not fulfill his obligations.
In the future, I urge people to avoid FireFlash events unless and until he does right by MoMaN and CrunCher. As a community we must hold organizers accountable.
Again, for the record, CrunCher received his funds about 7 hours after my prior post. Thank you to FireFlash for stepping up and paying. (I am unsure if MoMaN received his funds as of this post.)
Yea, I apologize for the delay. We had a sponsor hicup in the payment with and I went ahead and paid for the prizes out of pocket. I have been crazy in the last week closing on my house here in Florida and at the same time dealing with my father in the hospital with colon cancer surgery, I however take 100% full responseablity for the delay there is no excuse whatsoever .
VTPokeBunny - MoMan will be paid within the next day or so.
Once again sorry for the delay and thanks for Complexity for their understanding in this matter. It will not happen again
I look forward to having your players in future tournaments.
