First question is why did Jay assume the responsibility of the organizer here? For lack of better words to use I'd say that Jay's action is a result of a blackmail(Jay said in a thread:"I will write as I see it"). I guess "humble pie" = to clout within the WTBC. We probably should've assigned an AzB poster per player to guarantee immediate payment for each and every single one of the playersFatboy said::grin:
Jay paid one player he said and Jay was reimbursed right away with no problems, the player went 2 and out I think and got $950.
That we have no info about so to this date only Johnny has been paid through Jay Helfert who then acted as the organizer's prize money payer-upper or collector for JA. Ever hear from any of the tail-enders get paid yet?Fatboy said:Now if every player who didnt make it to the single elimination stage(round 4 i think) that adds up to alot of $$$, like $60,000 so atleast that was paid,
Prize Money pay-out shouldn't depend on collectibles. If this is what will be followed then WTBC payouts won't be until 45-60 days from conclusion of the tournament because that's the settlement schedule here with sponsoring corporations. That is if all media values agreed upon were satisfied by the promoters. In short, the sponsoring corporation will first do a research and review the whole production to see if they got their money's worth, of advertisments, based on the agreement.Fatboy said:I believe the jury is out til Oct 21, the delay is understandable as they need time to collect $$$ and reconcile the books.
I was told that ESPN Malaysia only aired the semi and the finals and this doesn't jive with the airing schedule(see table below or click on the link) advertised in the WTBC website. http://www.worldtenball.com/WTBC_TVCoverage.html So just with this, the media values for corporate sponsors' satisfaction came up short.

Secondly, if it's about "reconciling books" then the question arises as to how long does it take to put monetary values less 5% next to the finishers names? This takes less than an hour and funds released if the Prize Money is available.
Just based on the above, there are other factors too, there really is a reason for the BIG question mark(?).Fatboy said:So I'm not passing judgement, lso because there is so much disdane about this group and slanderous comments have little validity.:grin: big fancy words day
