Email from Mason
Hi Matty:
Below are copies of two private messages that I have received from raptor517. "you reside in vegas correct? you should come check out the heads up tourney were having with all the stt forum posters. would be a lot of fun. -David " After receiving this, I responded asking for details. His reply was: http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showth...amp;o=&vc=1 thats a link with the info for registerring.. http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/sh...14&fpart=1 and thats an updated player roster. hope to see you there. -David" After looking at these threads, it seems to me that he got a lot of free advertising and these threads should have been deleted. Am I missing something? |

Re: Email from Mason
Your second link doesn't work. I don't see anything wrong with the first one.

Re: Email from Mason
Do you not see this as free advertising or is it that you see it as a service to forum members and is therefore justifiable?

It's just a forum tournament. I don't see any difference between this and HULA, except that this is being done live and therefore can't mooch its overhead off of Prima. |

I guess the question is how much, if any, money is going to the poster. It's possible that Mason would question the hula events as well.

[/ QUOTE ] It's been a long time since I read STT regularly, but Irieguy's been one of the most valuable posters there for longer. I'd give him the benefit of the doubt. ETA: In any case a forum ought to be able to organize this sort of thing if they want to. Right? I think 2+2 would be a worse place without the various forum events. Since you guys have stayed away from "official" 2+2 events, it only makes sense to let the ones organized by the posters stand. |

Hi Everyone:
I had some more correspondence with this person and it appears to me that this tournament is probably okay. That is it's not being done for profit as far as I can tell and the Two Plus Two name is not being used. best wishes, Mason |

Re: Email from Mason
Mat,
As far as I know the tournament: a) does not use the name Twoplustwo or Two plus two or 2+2 or anything else like that. It goes by "STTF-HUC" - Single Table Tournament Forum Heads Up Championships. b) does not make the organizer any money. all funds go to: - the prize pool - the rental of a suite or several suites at a vegas hotel to hold the tournament - the rental of strippers (from the pics, they didn't appear to be strippers picked with the best eye or anything, but they were strippers) - the paying for refreshments and bartender at the event c) is a lot of fun, mason should try to make a showing. Further, I'm very glad that you didn't jump to it and delete those threads as they're nothing harmful and everyone had a great time last year. The player pool is doubling this year and it should be a great event. c |
