This tournament is an entry-fee invite only tournament (because at the moment, I can't afford to shell out any more money to this lovely community!)
Here's the link for the people who like links: z33k Tournament for $70 Prize Pool Fear not that the tournament says only $40 as a prize, that is indeed only 1st place!
2nd place prize is a full $20, and 3rd place, $10! This tournament is limited to masters+ (yes, even you grandmasters are allowed), so as to limit the difference between skill sets.
All information is contained within the link, but I'll summarize as best I can!
General rules, no bm, stay with the race you picked, show up on time, send entrance fee to me via paypal so that I may in return send you an invite key.
If the tournament doesn't receive full interest (i.e., not all 16 spots are filled), we'll make cuts to 3rd and 2nd place prizes (3rd will never go below $5, so at least you can play for free, and 2nd will never go below $10). If it's impossible to keep 1st, 2nd, and 3rd at their minimum, I'll most likely issue refunds (and continue the tournament anyways, minus prizes.) If it's dangerously close (say, only $5 or $10 away) or if all players agree to cut 2nd and 3rd prizes to be able to afford 1st place, I'm able to pitch in.
Any questions, marriage proposals, and concerns can be directed to the e-mail above, in thread here, on the reddit thread, or just shouted into the universe. I'll respond to all but the last.
Probably best to cut the fee, likely you'll get bad press if it goes sour (which its so easy for something to go wrong) and only having 2 posts on TL and no rep is going to be hard to convince anyone to part with money. Too many bad apples floating around eSports.
I'm aware! (sadly, having been ripped off before, harrumph) If I cut the fee, I'd have to cut 2nd and 3rd place prizes though, as well! (as I can only afford $40 prize pool in all generousness)
Perhaps I can make some quick money by Saturday, so I find myself agreeing with you. It shall be done! I'll update thread as soon as I modify constraints.
So you want me to give you money and then you want me to believe youll pay me if I win? ha! and on a 3 count post TL OP
obvious scam is obvious. Seems to be alot of this going on already. if its not I am sorry for calling it a scam but you dont really offer anyone anything.
naw, it's fine! I can see how it looks like that, which is why I'm going to remove the entrance fee as soon as z33k starts working again.
no worries either, I'm more than happy to build up my reputation here. I've just always wanted to be able to have a tournament pay for itself since I'm poor
Sorry guys, I tried to fix this but z33k has been down for the last week for me and others in my area. I'll be rescheduling this as soon as things are working again. (Which means, tear tear, it won't be in time for someone to order HOTS, shame. same prizes though.) Thanks for the responses, interest, and patience :D

Good luck with that if you're having an entry fee.
I mean obviously if you do it several times nobody will care, but doing this long-term + if you'll be having some profit from the fees... Blizzard frowns upon this heavily.

Isn't this against blizzard rules anyway?
nobody, including the guy that's linked to something on the blizzard forums, has given any proof this is the case
Allright, I love spoonfeeding.
