Gee, this looks like a scam.


Their website looks like it was made by a 10-year-old (don't tell me this is hypocritical).

Don't make me list how many things are wrong with this site that nearly prove of it's illegitimacy.

This :spam: is a scam!

I apologize for the "lack of luster" for the website; however I assure you it is no scam. Our efforts have been to secure the venue and location and sponsors, and I am not a webdesigner, although we are working to bring one on board, maybe you are interested? (what else is "wrong" about the event?)

for starters:
- there are too many broken images
- images are stretched out beyond proportion
- the caution sign isn't professional, and i'm assuming the tourney is supposed to be a professional type of thing.
- All the text sizes and styles are obnoxiously large an unusual. I can see that you didn't mean to do this because the HTML source code shows that you are trying to use fonts that nobody has. <u>You have to use basic fonts that everyone has, otherwise it won't look the same to anyone else.</u>
- marquee is unprofessional
- the images for your sponsors just don't look legitimate. I know they're from real companies and places, but it's hard to believe that these companies are actually sponsoring some event like this.
- etc.

Sorry for the scrutiny :wink:

Again, due to the unsightlyness of the site we have hired a designer, which we were unable to due prior.
-Our relationships with our sponsors are legite as a simple phone call to any of the EB Games stores in the Knoxville, Maryville, of Morristown,TN where our registration mail in cards are being distributed can confirm.
-As we announce our additional sponsors with the launch of the new website on Monday, the validity of our sponsor relationships will be evident.
-I appreciate the scrutiny, I will not doubt our website has projected an image inconsistent with the scale of the event we are managing with the assistanc eof the city of Knoxville Tourism and Sports Corp. The matter of highest priority with our concern was to insure the sponsors and media within a short time frame at one of the most hectic times of the year. Now we can breathe easier and focus on insuring a unique gaming experience ( and bring on additonal help and asistance).
-I consider my integrity and word all I have, and with the same determination utilized to win the Olympic Silver, I transfer now into my new aspirations of entertainment.
