The KMAACL is a source for cobranded tournaments with any other organizations. If you see any tournaments being listed by the KMAACL you can guarantee the following things. The goal of this organization is to provide a one stop shop for players to go to and know that if they participate in a cobranded event with the KMAACL a minimum/fair amount of payout is going back to the participants. This is
a 100% non profit page with the simple goal to provide a one stop shop for players to find fair payback events. The idea is to provide a standard for clubs and organizations to use if they want maximum participation. If you can't beat them, create something to get their attention. The only way this page works is by having a huge amount of members paying attention to the events they attend. Not attending the events that are simply not paying out fairly and requiring them to put in more work with sponsors if they want a bigger payday. They need players to get sponsors so lets turn on the heat and get payouts more standard for all organizers. Tournament guideline minimums to receive a 5 star rating:
1 - The tournament payout is a minimum of 80% of entry fee's. Actual payout charts will be provided on the event page at the conclusion of the event.
2 - All tournaments will either utilize rounders formats to determine Tiers with payouts at all levels, or all players play in a single bracket, no choosing Social, Competitive, Advanced, etc... No events that players get to choose which skill level they will play in.
3 - All tournaments will be capped at a reasonable amount of players/teams according to the amount of space, boards, & time available.
4 - Only exception to minimum payouts allowed are for true fundraisers. If a tournament falls in this category it will be clearly stated what percentages will go directly to the fundraiser and how much is being paid out to participants ahead of time. Payout charts will be provided on the event page at the conclusion of the event.
5 - Each event will be awarded a certain amount of stars based off all the information on a tournament. Experience of organizer, % of payout, format of tournament, and so on. Max 5 stars, minimum 1 star. Anything less than 1 star means it doesn't meet the minimum guidelines for Cobranding. All events cobranded with the KMAACL will have guidelines for all posted events including but not limited to Times, Locations, Organizer contact information, Event format and cost, Event rule guidelines, Event payment requirements, Event cancellation policy, Event inclement weather policy, and Food/Beverage/Seating availability. This is just the beginning of this page so I'm sure there will be some changes and adjustments as we go along. Feedback is always welcome. Constructive criticism is always welcome as long as it is done in a professional manner. Vulgarities, non productive comments and all alike will not be tolerated. One warning will be giving and the individual will be banned.
