Yea, we simply throw events to help local businesses or events, and of course - to help get the word out about the site so it can be used by more, and become more of a resource.
As for prize money - sorry to spoil your plans, but we are more about having a solid fun event than having something that might go outside the range of control, or facilities we get. As r3ligion states - the MLG has funding, etc. We are simply an organized group of gamers trying to improve Oklahoma through backing a central resource such as OKgamers can be, and is.
Don't get me wrong - we appreciate recommendations... But this site is for all gamers. Really focusing down to just MLG style gaming also wouldn't be a proper use of resources or staff attention imo. SO MUCH planning goes into such a organization, not to mention legal responsiblities, funding, etc. We'd have to do too much efforts and work to just throw a few MLG style events a year. Sorry man, if you want MLG, you'll have to go that direction.
Just like this event - OKgamers will definitely work with any group that might want to throw those events and needs any staffing or advising resources, but as for spearheading those events ourselves - we simply do not have the resources and staff at this time to do that.
