==Halo3-Tourney(H3T)== |
|||
'''Halo3-Tourney''' was Michael's first entrepreneurial endeavor started by hosting free tournaments on a team management website. People voted that cash tournaments be hosted, thus Halo3 (Dash) Tourney commercial was created in February 2008. Dozens of tournaments were hosted and thousands of people were signing up(1,736 human-user emails on email-list). The biggest tournament hosted was a partial sponsorship to a [[Major League Gaming]] event. However, the team that was sponsored didn't make it into Top 32 for the 2009 California Event. After a while of inactivity of tournaments and forum use the website was hacked and all data was lost(Unfortunately no back-ups were saved by the web host. The phBB backup was outdated and a download of the outdated forum was no longer available). Some data can still be seen from [[wayback machine]]. Eventually the website expired and the domain was bought by FourthMedia Ltd(an advertising company) on March the 22nd of 2011. <ref>[http://who.godaddy.com/whois.aspx?domain=halo3-tourney.com&prog_id=GoDaddy GoDaddy Link]</ref>. |

|||
#'''Anthony Nixon''' is a [[Full-time equivalent]] student at [[University of Minnesota]] majoring in [[Computer Science]]. His efforts were focused as an administrator of the website, general manager of tournaments, and lead computer scientist advisor. He also consulted and helped with implementations and modification of new scripts for the phpBB forum. This included: unique view counter, "who's viewing this" functionality, sub categorical forums, birthday list view, mass message functionality, and bots currently 'algorithmically crawling' site, and adding the javascript on the PHP/CSS page for google [[adsense]]. |
|||
#'''Travis Cheney''' was the chief moderator. He volunteered as a moderator of forums and referee of tournaments. |
|||
#'''Zach Smith''', a university student studying Finance, was the chief financial officer. He volunteered as a director of tournaments and invested in the future of H3T. He was the main advisor to Michael for business development, substantial expansion motivation, and financial expenditure. |
