So while this legality thing keeps getting brought up let me ask the legality of tournaments. Where exactly does that stand legally as a business running a tourney (either with a cash prize from a entry pool or something non monetary)? How about a private citizen? I'm curious because I just got a old cab to redo (I will post in projects once I get some more pictures ;D) and lots of people have shown serious interest in a tournament of X or Y game. It sounds like a great way to give some people that old school arcade feeling but I wouldn't want to get in legal trouble. Thoughts? Opinions? |

As a business owner, do you have a lawyer? Or someone for legal matters? You should be asking him/her these questions honestly if you are concerned about how it'll affect your livelyhood. That being said - I go to a game place that has a MAME machine set up on free place for tournaments once a month. I don't think they've ever been hassled. |

I'm sure we have more knowledge on the subject as we are most often complicit. |
