India Gaming Carnival - Real or Scam ?

[avi]

This is very bad

[dexbg]

With those kind of tables how would they even try to conduct a PC tournament .. with such uneven surfaces how would you even move your mouse around it..

The lot of the intl. teams came for the PC tourneys only.. Are the PC events cancelled or postponed ?

^^ I think that they are cancelled !! the conditions of the game hall is not right and cannot be set right !! in one night when they could not do it in months !!!

Zomato is issuing refunds to everyone who bought the tickets online or through Cash on Delivery. You should have an email to that effect in your inbox already.

^^ Thank God !! that Zomato is issuing refunds, but then the organizers will be in even more trouble !! they will not even have the money !!

+1 to that.... What do they plan to do in 1 night....

It looks pathetic...
1) Crap tables which seem to be made from wood meant for building foundations
2) No posters no decorations
3) No equipment


I mean look at this


Compared to this


And no its not an excuse that you are doing it for the first time... If you cant handle a big event start small...

I can confirm the above. I have seen a copy of the email (thanks to Albinder Dhindsa) talking about the refund process.

Sad that this had to go down this path.

Reminds me of those threats I received about 'legal action' for 'defamation' and what not. Totally bummed me out during my vacation.

There should be strict actions against the organizers if they don't fix it. India's name was already bad in these type of things now its even worse......

I wonder if my e-mail to them had anything to do with it

Anyway, this is what is being posted on international forums. The event is a big disgrace for all of the Indian gaming community.

Please dont blame the table supplier. Apparently he hasnt been paid for supplying the tables as it is along with all the other suppliers.

Vijay, I also had a chat with Albinder Dhindsa from Zomato. I requested him to post on the forum thread. He also forwarded me a copy of the email which has been sent out to the registered customers.

I am forwarding that mail chain to you now. Have a look.

The players gone to IGC for BF3 are LOLOL'ing their way back.
Apparently the people organizing the event made them sit and ran away. x)

Saddness

Its not the absence of sponsors .. or the big prize claims.

When you organize a competition/tournament .. you have to equally careful of the little things.
The people who come to participate are paying you so you have responsibility to not just the organize an event but to do it a fair and balanced manner so that none of the participants feel that they could compete fairly due to improper arrangement of the organizers.

Whether is flat surface tables or even lighting and PC performance(fps) otherwise a tournament turns into just another showcase ..

Even the losing teams/players should walk away from the tournament with a smile and the satisfaction of having fought a fair-balanced fight.
