I actually read thru this whole thread (well almost) and finally, between Mr. Chestnut and Mr. Schrump (who got me on the lead lap) found a real explanation. I then went back and read the original rules for the tourney and it seems it was followed to the letter.

The number of free entries seems to be a sticking point, but that would seem to only create additional money on a theoretical basis. That basis being if JK had actually paid for those entries, which he evidently didn't.Personally, if I had known Russ was going to throw in an extra 750 I would have prepaid ten entries with that and gotten a bar match for them. I would still think that anyone running a tourney would have the option of how many free entries although that does seem overdone (like I know anything about live tournies). Bottom line tho, sounds like he did exactly as he said he was going to as far as finances.

If the tourney was badly run, which it evidently was, that should be on JK.

Because of cases like this I have never understood why each tourney doesn't buy someone like Skipper a ticket and a room and have the same guy as tournament director, at least most of the time.

The above statements are not meant to indicate in any way that I have any knowledge whatsoever of the right way to do things, just a mostly outsider view of the common sense side of it.
