Competition Payment Idea

[conordavidson]

I know that all of us want Andrew to release his products as soon as possible. Well...This isn't possible without money. So I figured out a way to give money to Andrew/SR while still paying off the winners at a competition. Say that the entrance fee is $25 and 50 people compete (TIC!!!!). That means that we have $1250. That's a lot of money. Now, the people who put the competition on will get some money (let's say $500, leaving us with $750). We will then donate the rest of the money (the money that wasn't spent on other things) to Andrew/SR. BUT WHAT DOES THE WINNER GET!?!?!?!?!. The winner gets store credit towards the SR store (like a $50 gift certificate). The 2nd placer will get $30 store credit and so on. This way, Andrew will be able to release products quicker and help pay for SR, while still giving the winner a great prize!!!

Money isn't the only issue when it comes to Andrew's stuff. It's also about the patents he's trying to get over with and the lack of time to spend on developing SR stuff.

but wouldnt that give TIC no money and the point in this competition is for TIC to get money

haha, last year 1st place in pro won 200 bucks..i dont think its a bad idea, but im not sure how willing TIC would be to give up like 50+% of its profits from the comp to some random guy and his website

 

[sketchy steve]

are you out of your mind?

 

[conordavidson]

No? I guess it's not the best idea towards the skatepark...but if you add $5 to each competition fee than you can keep all that profit/give it to SR.

 

[brandon kilbury]

haha 35 bucks to compete in pro would be a ripoff, i think 30 bucks is a ripoff as it is

 

[conordavidson]

true, but i think people would foot the bill if they know that a lot of it will go to SR.

We don't handle the money, the skatepark does... TIC needs to make money too, the park is pretty much scooters only during the competition, so they would be loosing alot of money if they didn't take out their share. I don't think the idea would work out since the money has nothing to do with Andrew.

i think its a good idea...
