wow, thanks for stoaking my ego. seriously though, on the pay-tourneys with cash-prizes, i know the same thing is done at game conventions with large doom/quake/unreal/whatever competitions, and the same with "magic the gathering" style card tourneys. i dont think we would have a lot of problems, since its not really gambling, and other people do it.

if you set up PBW as a non-profit entity, you can start writing off your expenses and getting a tax break. also, you could look at the tourneys as a fund-rasing "raffle" where people chip in, and have a chance at a prize.

heck, if you set up as a non-profit, not only can the PBW crew write off all their technology-related expenses, but donors can write off any money they send you. Tax deductable video games, baby, oh yea.
