PSSG CASH TOURNAMENT UPDATE

[Pure Stats]

PSSG would like to thank everyone for their insight in regards to our Cash Money Tournament.
It has prompted us to get in contact with the appropriate people to verify our prize package that we have offered is legitimate.

We are exicted to announce that we have been given permission by ASA to proceed with this tournament and this prize package. We have spoken to State Commissioner Phil Gutierrez to verify that we are able to present a cash prize to the winning teams. He has stated the following:
1. All money that will be awarded to 1st place and 2nd place will be awarded in a form of a Team Check from PSSG.
2. Money will not be dispersed to any coach or player. This is strictly a team donation.
3. No team, coach or player will be in jeapordy of violating any ASA rules by participating in this tournament.

PSSG will be given written documentation from ASA to their approval on this topic. Furthermore Mike Schuck (JO Comissioner) will be informing all coaches that this tournament has been approved by ASA.

We look forward to having you participate in our tournament. Visit our website at http://www.purestatssportsgroup.com to register your team.

Thank you again for your support,

PSSG

Great job PSSG. I think all of us can appreciate the effort in resolving this situation. I thought all along a donation wouldn't be a problem, but then again the ruling w/ ASA could have you think otherwise. We'll be bringing 12's and 14's. BTW: Nice website, it's easy to get around.

It is great to see PSSG figuring out the right way to handle this tournament.

In addition to the follow up with ASA, you may consider making winning teams aware of the NCAA rules on cash. If they spend the money on team expenss, the should be fine. They should probably not give the cash to the player. Nor should they purchase items for the player, with the players name on it. I am not an expert on NCAA rules.

For 12's and 14's it will likely not be a problem as they will have a lot of time from now till they are recruited. You would hate a 16/18 year old to get declare ineligible.
