this is the e mail i got today just for those who was wondering what happened
All,
The stars were ligned up today for the plaintiff and she got a judge who only wanted to hear that I ripped off some kid. A decision was made by a judge today in favor of the plaintiff based on the evidence prodived by the plaintiff that this kid deserves more money. So much for my faith in the legal system. Efforts to explain that the typo is not the dispute and that the event was carried out as it was intended, with honesty and integrity and with a 14 and under category, went unheard and I was denied the ability to provide all the evidence that I had including upholding the waiver to promise not to sue. Despite the explanation that this was a simple typo and no other contestant reached out with any confusion to the 14 and under category, the poor 14 year old kid was awarded $650 of my personal money.
I regret to inform you that I will not put myself in this position again and there will not be future fishing derbies from me as I can not mitigate my risk from frivolous lawsuits from greedy people.
