comment research resources for starting a sports team/franchise
Well, they air Poker on TSN - and the eye-hand coordination has been compared to golf and gun-sports. Regardless the goal of my question is to decern how I can better understand sports team management, and model my team operations after that of pro hockey, baseball, or football teams.

I'm just using the nomenclature adopted by the tournaments and organizations themselves. I was hoping doing so would make it more clear, not less :)

Organized video games - tournaments and leagues that play for large purses. Some can go as high at $5M USD, but most are between 1 and 100 thousand for first place.

Thanks Jeff, but I'm looking to start a sports team, not a sports league. The catch is that the league is not organized, nor is it franchised. Still, I'm combing through your notes trying to imagine in from the perspective of team owner vs. players. Thanks

Not dismissing this stuff though. I'm going to spend some time re-evaluating.

These are all really important points. However, I don't have the capital to pay full-time salaries, and I can't find anyone willing to work full-time on commission only. I have trainging presentations I've given to the sales team, and I they seem to have understood the core ideas.

comment How to get through to decision makers?
I've considered doing this, but in my specific situation, the issue is that there are several offices spread out across the USA and Asia and I have no idea where to start (and can't afford to fly around to 6 different cities).

I've tried this. There is no "main number". The only phone number I could find was their support line (a dead end) and an office front desk (which reroutes to the support line).

@phaedrus - not always true. but even if there is no "management" there are still leaders, and the same rules of honesty apply imo.

comment How to get through to decision makers?
I appreciate the feedback, but what you're suggesting doesn't really sound viable. My approach is extremely different to what you described of Viacom New Media, and I'd go out on a limb to say that they got lucky to know someone with connections inside of "all" companies. That being said, maybe I can wiggle my way in through the back door with past employees to can leap-frog me back to someone still there...
