Don't be fooled people host tournaments for one thing - money!

Saturday I go to a tournament over in NYC to drop off some shirts as a favor to one of our affiliates whose shirts are now for sale on our site - ps they won't sell themselves having shirts for sale might be COOL!!!!! BUT, you need to tell people to buy them or else you won't make a dime!!!

The story, I'm waiting for the person to hand off the shirts to to show up - oh if you tell someone 10:00 am that means you f&cking be there at 9:45 as to not be late and not 10:30. Lesson 103 for you - don't be late, it ain't fashionable!!!! If I didn't find a parking spot you would have had NO shirts!
I'll try to continue now, as I said I parked go upstairs look around and find the Tournament Director, nice guy I thought??? Explain who I am and maybe we could be involved with some other events of his??? Again, dumb ass Joe sticks out the hand of kindness first.

Later he's walking around and finds me and says politely that he can't sell drinks in here because the concessions have to go through the bowling alley - again nice Joe says "I understand, no problem".

So, a team member shows up and I hand him a bunch of shirts and the Tournament Director literally tears ass over to us (about 12 people near by) and starts ripping me a new A-hole about coming "into his house" and "doing this stuff, it's wrong and get the heck out of here go down to the street!"

This goes back and forth, I just don't know what he's yelling about, can't get a thought out of my head while he's bitching because I'm just so floored - "what did I do wrong, speak in a complete sentence, what's wrong???"

"I'm explaining, these are the kids teams shirts, you mean they can't wear team shirts?". He's getting pissy now with "let me see those shirts, you can't give out your shirts here, this is my event, you got some nerve."

Finally, he realizes the teams logo is on front and there are sponsors on there as well but he's still mad and had it not been for the fact that now a crowd has gathered he would have not let the team have their shirts because there were names on there that he doesn't make money off of!!!!

People and read this and absorb what I'm saying to you here - These people, companies, promoters they just want your money. What difference would it make if I was giving out free stuff to people at his tournament???? What would it hurt if some people went home and said, "hey this guys runs a great tournament, people were there handing out free stuff, we should go to more of his events"

There are 20 people who are now going to tell other people that this guy is an A-HOLE and doesn't want anyone to get anything for free!!!!!

Our affiliate links should be working soon and then like I told people there today - you spend money on Red Bull, Monster, see empty 5Hr bottles there to and they give you nothing back, spend the same money with us, help make money for yourself and continue to support your sport & yourselves!!!!

I've seen a video from Saturday and I don't want to say where I saw it but, now I know who this guy was - I have approached him more than once about doing something for his tournaments without any success - I guess he likes it the way it is????
