This is, allegedly, a document that all Binions dealers must sign to work the 2002 WSOP. Supposedly, they are not allowed to show it to a lawyer before signing, nor do they receive a copy after signing.
I know nothing about contract law, but I can't imagine this is enforceable, nor that if Binions REALLY IS(big if) requiring this doc be signed that the WSOP will have any dealers.
There's a thread link for RGP below.
"1. I will not speak to any member of the press, write any article, book or
journal whither published or not, speak to anyone that then speaks to a
member of the press or writes about anything concerning the Horseshoe, the
WSOP, or any employees or customers for a period of FIVE YEARS unless I
first get WRITTEN permission from the Horseshoe.
2. That in the event that the Horseshoe sues me for breach of contract for
speaking to unauthorized persons, I agree to PAY THEIR LEGAL FEES even if I
prevail. (In other words, even if I win, I LOSE.)
3. This includes COURT COSTS and THEIR lawyers.
4. That in the event legal action is required; I agree to immediately post a
bond in the amount of $25,000 to cover their costs.
5. If I don't post this bond, I agree to a summary judgment in favor of the
Horseshoe at any reasonable amount (reasonable to determined by THEM). "
"WSOP DOCUMENT" is the thread title.
