Sponsor for Optishot Online Leagues

[CatMan]

Golf Simulator Guys are willing to sponsor a few of these golf leagues.

Hi

This is Bret with Golf Simulator Guys. We have decided to sponsor a few of these new online optishot leagues that are popping. We are willing to contribute $100 per league for a prize money and are also willing to give everyone in the league a discount on all product.

Please contact me if you are interested

[CatMan]

Guys here is the Feedback from Bret,

Hi John
For starters, below is my contact info. Feel free to contact me for any reason. If I don’t answer my phone, leave a message and I will call you back shortly thereafter.

Yea, we are glad to help. We will put up $100 for prize money. I’ll PayPal to you or another in the league with a PayPal account. We will also give 10% discount on all merchandise. Please send a list of all participants so we know who we are giving discounts to. Finally, we most likely will be able to provide plaques to winners in the league. Maybe something like 1st-3rd. We will let you decided on that.

What we want in return. Just some pictures of you guys having fun to place on our website. If you name your league after our company name, that would be nice to.

Also, we would love to hear the format of your league. Our in shop league starts this weekend and we are on the look for the best format.

Regards

Bret Richards

I replied asking if he would extend the discounts to all Golf Simulator Forum Players.....

Joe from slickthings also want to contribute to our League

Catman, I think it is great what Bret has offered and while I am not as large an operation as Bret, I would like to offer a Soft Shell Premier as well as a Soft Shell with the Monster turf for prizes courtesy of Slickthings if you would like.

Joe I think that is awesome and generous of you, let me get input from players, this is a Big League and we are growing day by day.. There are plenty of golfers with needs for sure... please launch me an email.

Thanks CatMan

Ive just bought one from him lol. Thinks its great to get support from these people, just a matter for finding best way for people to win them, in a way thats accesible and fair to all. Thats the hard bit.

I would recommend having a Tournament sponsor (e.g., The Slickthings Kiawah Island Open). Any prize(s) could be given to a random draw from all of the players in the tournament. Only stipulation would be that they need to complete the tournament (i.e. finish all rounds).

[Mike80]

I agree with Brad about a sponsor for a tournament. I wouldn't want to advertise their name for our "LEAGUE NAME". Not for $100 for having their name as our league name the entire season.

I think we setup a special tournament and put the advertisers name as part of the tournament (just like in real life).

I would suggest the following for payout if only $100 sponsored.

$40 for 1st Place (I know you talked about cheating but I would say to qualify you have to record your round, that way no cheating obviously)
$20 for 2nd Place (same rule as above)
$10 random draw prize
$10 random draw prize
$10 random draw prize
$10 random draw prize

For Random Draw: Catman could stream/record and show all names on piece of paper being placed into a bowl. Then shake it up and pull out a name and show it to the camera. Then do the same for the next three drawings.

I thinks this setup offers it all.
- Allows sponsor to have their name as part of a tournament and they can get a picture for their website like they wanted.
- Allows 1st/2nd to be rewarded
- Allows four others to win a prize randomly

To qualify for the prizes you have to record all your rounds and show your ball and club settings and you have to finish all rounds to be entered into the draw.

I'd say lets give it a chance like I stated above and see how it goes!

I think Mike and Brad nailed it.

Keep in mind guys that any adds going on any of these sites is not up to you. That includes names of tournaments, leagues or any of the above. These sites, the league site in particular, is paid for and run by us.

[CatMan]

Ok I heard from Admin on this Site, and we can not do any form of endorsement within Site, But really all Bret is looking for is pictures of us playing... I think we can use twitch to get the Name out there, how you guys do it on your banners.. If you guys are willing to send them pictures that would be great...

I'm going to respond to Bret tomorrow and try to finalize an agreement per say...

Ahh yeah, didn't even think about that. Thanks Hogan.

[CatMan]

I think we should also include other Leagues within Site on the Money and Plaques, this Forum and the other Site have been very valuable to us, not to mention Hogans and Zmax's efforts...

[CatMan]

So the ideas shared are great Ideas but we need to include the whole forum somehow, obviously if we get the Turf tops from Joe we can setup something for us for those..

[Mike80]

Good point Hogan! Yeah, don't want to step on any toes!

Catman, yeah check and see if they don't care about their name as part of the tournament. I'm not sure how I would be able to change the name of the streaming for a specific tournament on Twitch. I never change it. It's whatever I set it up the 1st time.

If all they really want is some pictures, then I think all of us could provide some pictures to Catman, and then he can coordinate and provide the pictures.

Do they want screenshots, plus pictures of us swinging in our simulator room.

I would say to qualify for any prize money you must provide minimum two pictures to Catman.

[CatMan]

Guys,

I heard Back from Joe, and replied that I would share with League, Joe,

That sounds awesome and reasonable, let me share this with the League..

Thanks,

CatMan

Subject: Optishot turfs for prizes

Hi John and thanks for getting back to me. Here is a thought on my part, with regard to the Optishot turfs I manufacture. What if I offer one turf, winner's choice of premium or Monster each month for the next 6 months. The winner would only be responsible for the shipping (I do only ship via Priority Mail as it is the best overall method worldwide that offers consistent tracking ability) and we see how it goes. -- Anything within the US ships for $14.95 and other countries it would be whatever my shipping cost is. That way they could choose between the the One Piece Premier with my turf or with the Monster turf.

How you offer these up each month for prizes would be up to.

Does that sound reasonable?

Just let me know your thoughts.

Regards,

Joe H=

Guys here is my conversation with Bret,

It looks like he is onboard with my suggestions so life is good, please do your best on sending Pics, either to me or to him directly. And we can advertise their name on Twitch during our Broadcast...

We can continue to discuss best ways for the Money and Turfs from Joe........





Everything sounds great.

Bret,

That sound like a great way to do it, The guys that win the prize Money, I will send you via email There Names and I will have them Contact You directly, then you can send them the money.. That way no one can just call and says I won the prize money.. We will probably do a drawing for this or closest to pin in one of our Major Events, two 50 dollar drawings.

The Plaques will probably be needed for the end of the Season Awards, April time frame. I can send you the information that needs to be on them along with the Shipping information at that time....

We can not sponsor on the Forum that we are using because we do not own it, but we can get created with our Twitch Broadcasting Streams and Advertising your Name that way.. Your more than welcome to use our twitch recordings showing players playing their Tournament Rounds, here is the Link: http://golfsimulatorforum.com/forum/optishot/26195-optishot-online-video-s-of-online-tournaments . I will encourage players to send Pics as well..

As far as the Discounts go Players in our League should Identify themselves as being part of the Golf Simulator Forum to receive 10% off on Merchandize..

Let me know if this works for you,

Thanks CatMan
