Sometimes when people think your idea is bad it’s not because they’re an *edited* or don’t like you, sometimes it really is a bad idea. Depending on how you approach an MTG tournament it could be considered gambling on state property which nets the entire exec staff (and you) misdemeanor charges, expulsion from WCU, and gets the gaming club banned from operating in the state of NC.
When we tried to tell you guys how risky card games are we were trolled into oblivion <_>
I would bypass Mike Corelli and go straight to Walt Turner. He’s the one that would be in charge of any judicial proceedings brought against students participating in this or the club for hosting it were a tournament found to be in violation of school or state law. His response should be the only one considered final on this subject. Don’t email him, go sit down in his office and talk to him. On paper MTG is a violation of the “game of chance” laws, in practice not so much. See if he’ll work with you, he probably will, but I’m telling you right now if you give out cash prizes or gift cards you will not get permission to play this at the LANs. You need SWAG or physical objects such as boosters to have any chance of getting his blessing.
