The a2b Championship Cup

The a2b Championship Cup.

Let's do this

Hmm... I really hope this will approved, since as soon as you play for money, it's considered gambling, and then you have to be 18 years old, there are very strict rules about these sort of things.

Let's hope nothing comes in the way, sounds great.

It's only considered gambling if you must pay, this is Free entry

If you say so...

Well, actually, you are right (my bad, sorry lol), but isn't it law to be over 18 if you are placing a bet? As you can play National Lottery age 16, that is gambling but legal before 18 and is using money to play, but then again this is UK.

I would think this is ok because no one must place any bet or pay money for the gamble.

At least I think so? I guess this decision is down to MI?

He is the owner of the site, so in case trouble comes up, he's the one kicked in the ass. So yea, this decision is up to him, though I think there is only a very slim chance for any trouble with this.

Yeah, didn't Madden do a Tournament with money involved on TuS? Or was that a different website?

And coming to think of it, was the entrants to his Tournament 18+ or not?

If anyone can remember...

There has never been any prize tournaments hosted on TUS, there were plans, discussions, but it never reached the execution.

SPW made ea for only 18+ players since he is planning to do prize tournaments there.

Ah, so Maddens Tournament didn't even take off?

Well, if we can't go ahead with this the way it's setup, I could always change it to +18 players only?

But I have a strong feeling you can play for money under 18 as long as you don't have to pay to play, I hope I am right with this...

as far as I know theres nothing illegal about children entering free competitions with cash prizes

nice idea though, looking forward to this

I think the law on gambling and this kind of stuff is very different depending on where you live. As far as I know in Germany it's not allowed for people under 18 years of age to win cash prizes in competitions.

We are living in great century, 2 good bng cups within 2 months. Nice shot Komodo

If what you are saying only applies to Germans under the age of 18, then unfortunately, they won't be able to enter, but everyone else can.

MI, could you clarify us on some of this please? Let me know as soon as possible please if I need an age restriction or Country Law restriction or something to continue with this, as I intend to do this once every 3/4 months.

I think as long as there's no "entering fee", it is alright. I've never faced that German rule. But if they are sure, we can restrict them. But you can wait for the signups to see how many under 18 Germans you would actually get.

Ah, that is music to my ears, you just made my day xD

Now we just need to wait to be approved
