Well yea I can kinda. He was not supposed to be in the tournament in the first place. There was a GPA requirement. Among other pre=requisites. I/my company put in a lot of time and resources into this. And too let a known dropout walk off with the main prize to me defeats the purpose of the message I like to send to the youth. So its a 2 edge fail for me. A kid that should have won didn't and the message of the whole thing gets diluted. Its not so much the selling of the Ipad (well it kinda is), I just feel gotten over on by the folks putting on the event because they knew.
Looks like you didn't spend enough time and resources on your event staff/hosts to me. I would put blame on kid he did his job he won the event.
Yup, usually when I sponsor events I have more to do with the planning. But I am prepping for a product release so I didnt focus on the behind the scenes stuff and allowed the event hosts to arrange everything. Keep in mind I was only the sponsor, not the coordinator.
Oh and no blame is on the kid. I mean I am pissed at what he did but it is not really his fault. But a college bound kid would have had more respect for the event and prizes (possibly).
So whats the real RANT over then. You say you put alot of time an resources into event then saying you didnt do no behind scenes an just a sponsor.
Then your original rant was a school drop out kid won the event when not aloud in an sold the ipad. then now saying no blame on kid not really his fault.
so Yater is right again. Title should've been "OUR EVENT PLANNERS ARE DUMMIES, DIDNT FOLLOW OUR OWN RULES, GAVE AWAY FREE IPAD TO SOMEBODY NOT QUALIFIED TO PARTICIPATE AND NOW WE LOOK LIKE ASSHATS!"

Nope my rant is the same. Same kid won that should not have been allowed even in the competition and sold the Ipad. Did I state that changed somewhere? But what I did was support lifted's thread by adding supporting statements. But it is not necessarily the kids fault he participated, though he to was aware of the GPA requirement. And to rehash my original gripe, the youngster has a set of twisted values and morals. And to your point, no the title should not change. As a kid whom chooses an Ipad over a Scholarship that is in that position is still an enigma to me. Thus the question mark at the end.
