Now we're talking. But what about administration of this? Who's gonna get the copy of the contract? Who's gonna make sure they follow up?  What about all the russian tournaments? You speak russian? Chinese? Australian (herp derp)?  | ||

What about all the russian tournaments? You speak russian? Chinese? Australian (herp derp)? Shit, I'd probably do it for free if I had the support of some of the pros/teams. I don't have access to any of the contracts right now, I'm not one of those "in" guys, so it'd basically be a futile effort otherwise. Language help can be found in this community, I have no doubt. In the end, it means nothing more than what the community takes it for. Which is why you'd need someone big to help get it initiated (if for say, EG/mouz endorsed it and ask tournaments to get certified). I cannot do it on my own and have it gain traction, I do not believe. | ||

This system will only really hurt tournaments that make a habit of having these problems. If the organizers repeatedly make the same mistakes (i.e. unreliable sponsors who refuse payment), then the community is right to push them out of the business, so that someone else can take their place. Eh I dunno I would say that tournament organisers are most definitely the ones responsible for non-payment. They are running a goddamn business, it is their responsibility to be on top of their cash flow. Liabilities aren't conditional on whether or not you meet your cash flows lol when you owe somebody money you find a fucking way to pay them. Any other organisation with decent bargaining power (such as a bank or supplier of your goods) would laugh at you if you told them 'soz I know I said I would pay you but I can't until my money rolls in, brb 12 months', the only reason they are trying to pull this kind of shit on progamers is because they are just a single person with little amounts of money, knowledge of the law and capacity to enforce these obligations. I understand that they may have difficulties with sponsors ect but they should both a. give these guys a proper indication of when they can expect to receive their money and b. actually give it to them in a reasonable time. If they are going to make them wait 12 months they should probably give them interest on top of that as well. Would be great to have some sort of 3rd party to actually overseer this. | ||

The event literally ended a week ago. It was disrespectful to include them in your list. I agree with what you're doing overall, but not with that part of it. If you wanted to ask them if you're going to get paid, go ahead and do it. You can't expect them to get everything done within a week. Especially given the fact that they paid out in a few weeks last year. He's right, you did paint them in a bad light by including them with everyone else. And the only reason was because they didn't contact you within a few days of the event? Doesn't seem fair at all. | ||
