Ante Tournament

Would it be against Smogon policy to host a tournament with ante? A well planned tournament using a small Bitcoin buy-in would surely be a blast. A TO/trusted Smogon member would take care of the pot and make sure it's distributed out fairly at the end. With a few successful runs, this idea might become a regularity, who knows.

At the moment, we are not officially supporting any such tournaments, because of their unclear status with respect to laws against gambling. However, you are welcome to host such a tournament in a personal capacity if you so desire.
