Everyone holding money till the end won't work. There will be no sense of urgency to play the matches if you haven't paid for the tournament yet.

This can be addressed by making a rule that if you don't play by a certain date, your $1500 gets forfeited.

[/ QUOTE ]Well I think some people might have a hard time paying $1500 if they didn't even play in the tournament. Just easier for everyone to wire 1500 to some people first imo

and, as we're not pimps, we have to collect money from the bitches up front.

i realized that entrusting someone with money would be the biggest hurdle in getting this thing off and running smoothly.

i had hoped that after a number of well-known and respected posters had registered, everyone else would trust as well and things would get going. clearly not the case.

i had just assumed people had the same view as i do with trust on an issue like this: that being i would trust a ton of different posters on this forum with my money, but in the event of getting shafted i would F their world up.

clearly things not going to be as smooth as i hoped, so i welcome anyone else to run things in any matter they see appropriate.

good luck, and i hope someone or group gets this running.

as an aside if anyone wants a quick working HU on ultimateBet .25-.50NL i am sitting at table Toluca. free lessons donkeys.

[fsuplayer]

im in. and agree with diablo on all the points in this thread.

if you want a few escrow guys, i could be one of them.


chuddo-

thanks for setting this all up.

but in the off tiny chance someone did screw someone, that would kind of leave me F'd as well. so i am not going to risk myself being attached to someone else screwing someone.

Come on, man, be reasonable here. When TBG says "f all you guys, I am not transferring $1500 to anyone this was RIGGED MAN RIGGED" everyone gets paid 3% less. Nobody would be looking for you to make up that $1500, chuddo.

WTF!!

[thabadguy]

Ill play u HU right now on stars if u want chuddo

[Matt Flynn]

No need to get mad chuddo, the requests for different escrow are all reasonable and just business. In this game, friends sometimes don't pay you back, so why would anyone trust someone they do not know?

Any reason you can't run the tournament / trophy and have someone else handle escrow?

Also, fyi to everyone else, I do not want to hold the money. It is a simple matter to send to a lawyer though. Or if Diablo will do it that's easiest.

[Yeti]

Just let Diablo do it. If he f's with us it shouldn't be too hard to track him down. I hear he's usually in LA, NYC, or London.

[BobboFitos]

Im removing my name from the roster, I decided 1500 isn't worth it, esp. with a chance the escrow could leave us fvcked.

If we need spots orlower it to 1k I'll put my name back up for registration.

[captZEEbo1]

haha Diablo gave no sign of wanting to do it. I can do it
