Go to the AH people, post there. Usually reliable sellers won't sell to someone who has just created an account.

4-6 Announcers should perform practice run-thru in exhibition games prior to the tournament.

Seeing as guardians are not currently viable and using one would force you to drop a boomkin from the comp I don't think it really matters. I feel that you could make them not count incase they become viable FCs again, but honestly it's a moot point. Also thanks for banning ferals! The cup is gonna be great now!

My ability to like is turned off again so good call!
Perhaps guardians can count towards stealth limit with the understanding that if they become viable fc's again due to game changes that will be reassessed?

As of right now I'd say either a 3 stealth limit with a restriction of 1 rogue and 1 boomy per team or removing Resto druid FC's from the stealth rule all-together, and keeping the stealth limit at 2. I think most people would agree as of right now. The kind of comps you will see today are 4 healers, one being the Rdruid FC, accompanied by 6 dps.
Edit: The reason that Guardian druids are no longer viable is due to the fact that as of WoD all tank specs take 25% more damage in PvP combat, making resto druid the most viable and sensible FC to use in a premade. This has been the case since the start of WoD but no one really looked into it until recently.

Unnecessary. The two Druid and stealth limit is enough to prevent any team from running a Guardian.

Now that Feral is banned, would opening it up from a 2 stealth limit excluding resto druids to a simple 3 stealth limit work? The only extra comp this opens up is 2 Rogues/1 Boomkin/non-Druid FC. There's a little bit of cheese potential, but I don't think it'd be good enough for teams to give up a Druid FC.
Might not be a good idea, I wasn't around when the 2 stealth rule started. I would like to see as much flexibility as possible for teams to try different things though.

Question: Do I Have to Pay Sweepstakes Taxes on Prizes Worth Less Than $600?
A reader asks: "I've heard people say that you only have to pay taxes on sweepstakes prizes that are worth less than $600. Is that true? Do I have to pay taxes on small prizes, too?
Answer:
It's a common sweepstakes myth that prizes worth less than $600 are exempt from taxes. In the United States you have to pay taxes on all prizes, no matter what the value.

The twinkcup is to the point where they would need to be required to report how much individuals are receiving. This could be an issue if 1 person says someone, and I know someone will

You need to get your facts straight and wake up. Whoever wins the cup will receive roughly $600. That is nowhere near the actual amount that someone would actually need to declare as income. Making statements like yours may confuse people interested in participating.
For example, I've sold multiple items, ranging from designer clothing to old gaming consoles(etc). All of those I have sold for ~$500/each, all cash (or paypal). None of which have I declared as "income". Now, you may be saying, "but you sold a good! you didn't receive the money for nothing!". That is true, but you need to understand the key concept here. I have deposited cash in the $500-$1000 range multiple times to my bank, not declaring anything.
What you need to understand is that people deposit cash all the time, and receive cash all the time, for sometimes absolutely nothing! Now if you were to receive a briefcase of $40,000 and went to deposit that in the bank, you will need to take action, but for these nominal amounts (talking about the whole scheme of things, for the twink cup it is actually unreal!), nobody will need to declare it and pay taxes on it.
To further express my point, say you were to sell your own WoW account for an astounding $750. Would you need to pay taxes on that? Absolutely not. Now I am not saying I know the law perfectly, but I have common sense and think logically. The government is not capable of looking into everyone's personal finances and tracking every dollar that goes in and goes out. I know "technically" you are supposed to report every dollar you make, but that is literally impossible to enforce.
Final example. In my entrepreneurship class at university, we ran a small business for 10 days and we generated $2000 in revenue. We each took home $500 in profit (3 of us, $500 expenses). None of us declared anything. Money went towards booze, clubs, etc., point is that the money came and went, simple as that.
I am writing this to clear up the confusion and to put anyone who was worried minds at rest. For 99% of the people on this site, receiving $600 though paypal, on presumably multiple payments, will be fine. If you are one of those people who are a stickler for the rules and feel compelled to report it, go ahead. But for the rest of the winners, enjoy.
