I received a nice email from Kevin Blinkoff at OTW regarding the Cup. I sent an email yesterday in regard to my pin and shirt not showing up, the lack of the truck and the alleged no VS stuff. I have posted Kevin's reply below:
Hey Paul,
Shirts and pins are on the slow boat back from the factory and should arrive this week- we'll get them in the mail as soon as we have them in hand.
We thought we were going to be able to offer a Toyota truck as the grand prize, but at the last minute something unexpected came up with Toyota- something about a gas pedal-
We're planning to get a truck sponsor on board for next year, but due to the unfortunate timing of the Toyota recalls we had to make a decision, so we decided to go ahead and put up 10k in cash instead.
We did not offer sign-ups until we had changed the prize rules to reflect the10k, but if you feel duped, we understand and will refund your entry.
As far as the taxes go - I'm no accountant, but tournament winnings are taxed as "Other Income" at your tax rate - so even if you are in the highest tax bracket, I doubt it would be taxed at 45%.
VS has been on board all along - We're still giving them away as monthly prizes. You know, you can't believe everything you read on those internet forums...
If you have any questions or concerns, you can give me or Chris a call at anytime
Thanks,
Kevin
