Hi Alexross
I have read the T&Cs, lets just look at what you saying again:
By participating in the promotion you grant APN the right to use your name and likeness for promotional purposes without further compensation.
So with that line or any of the T&Cs can you tell where it states:
1. We are stopping them from getting a sponsorship deal?
2. How does this term state that we own the player?
All this terms states is that we (APN) would like the option to use your name and likeness for promotional purposes without further compensation, so if we want to send a news letter to our network telling everybody how great player X did at the EPT we can and we can use his picture, this T&C in no way stops the player from taking a deal with another site.

the fact that you think you can use the players’ likeness and name for your ends is totally retarded and -ev for the player. Why the hell should they let u do this?
What happens if they win EPT and get offered a multi million sponsorship deal? Oh that’s right, they wont be able to get one cos your site will practically own them.
fwiw forcing them to wear your branding in the live event is as far as you should go imo.
moral of the story: Read the small print and don’t sell your soul to the man.
