This will be the event of events for SE IV. So don't let it slip buy.

Count me in. I'll sort out the payment this evening.

for those who do not have pay pal please contact me personally and we can work out some arrangement.

Mac... Ask Geo if he is cool with that...

I used to have PayPal but they only give you a limited amount for transactions ($2,000 I believe) and I did $2,000 worth of transactions. After that, it requires a fee to use it. That's when I canceled.

I know Geo took checks for donations so...

This isn't technically correct Slynky. Once you reach the 2000 limit on Paypal you have to become "verified". Being verified doesn't change the fee schedule at all, but it does require that you give Paypal more personal information about yourself and demonstrate that you have a checking account. I can understand people being hesitant to giving out their personal financial information. Heck, I won't even post my mail address.

All I will say is that in my experience through PBW and with my personal account I've had no bad experiences with Paypal.

We no longer have the PO Box. It wasn't pulling in enough donations to be worth the cost and hassle.

Mac, I don't have a problem with you giving me your money at Origins. I will get it to Tesco.

Yes, I suppose you may be correct, Geo. I was hesitant to give out more info (in these days of I'Net theft) and I never went through the process...I think I must have assumed there would be a fee (or I misread something).

So, no PO box, no checks, I presume. Hmmmm, as much as I have donated to PBW, an entry fee to the tourney was like a free ride (assuming the entry fee was just another donation). Oh well, I'm sure I can find other games to keep me busy

Well, I think Tesco is planning on accepting checks from people that want to join but can't use paypal for whatever reason. I think that's why he said to contact him personally for instructions.

As far as past donations, that's a good question. Tesco would be the one with final say, but my own opinion is that while your past support is greatly appreciated, the tournament is intended to be a PBW fund raiser. Letting people in on the basis of past donations would kind of defeat that purpose. Plus, while most of the prizes are being donated, I'm not sure all of them are, so there are some costs involved.
