I would have barred you long before this. People don't play in little tournament's like that for the money. It is supposed to be fun. Sounds like you get off beating up on weaker players.
Just got kicked out from tourney
- Thread starter Mustardeer
- Start date
32 bracket fills up every single time. I never heard a single player complain to me to my face. Same people came back and new players attend every time. Their tourney has gotten bigger not smaller. Imo me being there supporting their tourney is a good thing. Guess they don't see it that way.
Nope, TD literally spelled things out. Anyone under 700 is not a pro in my opinion. I can't even hang with semi-pros. This is not the case of me being strong, it's just a weak tourney. I never thought about tipping TD maybe it's a good idea but can also look suspicious.
So the real answer is to go and play the winner from now on, offer a spot and take the money down
Tell everyone you know how you were treated, and organize a boycott of the venue.
Should not be penalized for winning frequently.

I was winning plenty after the tourney 20/game, 100/game. I'm not driving there just for action. I got plenty of action anytime I want. I got fish I got monsters, whatever I want. I have a real career I don't like to play every single night, I enjoy practicing on my table more. Plus keeps me closer to my lady she hates me playing every night. This tourney was good cause I could bring her there.
This...you gotta let the small tournaments lay fallow for a bit before coming back. I used to play a lot of small bar box tournaments back in the '80s, I'd show up late after everybody paid in, or I might kill it. I'd win, then move on for two or three weeks. Back then there were enough to rotate through without killing all the action. Sucks if you really like a particular tourney and you killed your action there. If you'd have laid off a bit, the director wouldn't have banned you. Usually if you dominate one, they put a bounty on you and let you keep playing.
Almost no one every complains face to face or to the person they are complaining about.
I’ve run matches/tournaments in many games/sports. The amount of complaining after the event and privately is always there. It’s just almost never made public.
Either way, you’ve posted several examples that illustrate you’re better than most in your area. You might not be a pro compared nationally, but for your specific geographic location, you’re tapped.
Sucks. But it’s normal.
just the way Bugs used to do it....
Well I recall one bar were the owner of bar gave players BS who did not drink alcohol, he was like a major cry baby.
I told him once Ice Tea is my drink of choice, and I will not leave your bar buzzed, go out and kill someone after you over served me, and get your dunb A** named in civil suit.
They did a good job of over serving, and sending drunks to drive home buzzed.

You usually have some thin, wispy thread of reality connecting what you post and the topic at hand. Like one neuron fired correctly.
Here, however, you've completely left the reservation man.

This can happen from time to time.
These smaller comps then tend to have, you win it twice in 1 month. You can't enter for 2 weeks, which is fine.
Don't apologise for being good at anything.
Don't lay down for people either.
Let them improve or not.
Sometimes you're stuck in an area with weak players, it happens.
Sounds like you've got a mixture of strong players though and get weight elsewhere - this TD just sounds a sore loser to me and one that could not put in any measures at all to reduce a regular winner to give them a timeout.
Who let's it go for 21 weeks without saying a thing and then dropping the hammer, the guy sounds like a loser to me.

Opinion is like your nose, not a big deal everyone has nose.
My thoughts exactly.
I agree with this, at least as long as we're talking about the men, but it still sounds like you were too strong for this tourney.

Ignore the entitled they haven't earned respect
That's a problem I wish I had. I'd move to next level.
It's called "torching a spot". I'm amazed they faded your action as long as they did.

Used to be in foosball tourneys I played, there was one promaster who played and won multiple weeks often. He was cool, nobody wanted him gone, but they did want him to lose.
We started a bounty system where a portion of the money would go into a pot after his third win in a row. When someone put him out, they got that money.
Funny things happened, he liked it, played harder, had more fun, and we started having a lot more guys winning multiple weeks.
