To Our LVSSA Membership:

This update is regarding our Tournament Production Agreement (TPA) with SSUSA as of October 26, 2020. 

SSUSA sent an offer dated October 20, 2020, via their attorney to our legal team.  It is an offer to LVSSA; a one-time stipend payment for the WMC with the caveat that our Association was not entitled to any monies, but this is a gesture of goodwill on their part.  It is not anything near the amount we should be given per the TPA.  This stipend was also tied to a settlement which included terms LVSSA would have to sign off on in regards to non-compete and no compensation for equipment we brought into the original TPA in 2012. 

On October 24, 2020 your Board of Directors had a Special/Emergency Meeting - going into closed session for the purpose of legal and contract discussion.

The Board of Directors listened to our advisor and came to a consensus.   Returning to open session, a motion was made to respond to the SSUSA legal representative to explore further a more equitable resolution based on our extensive deliberation.   

We await the next response.  There is no prediction as of today on the timeline to reach a remedy.  Ultimately, whatever may be worked out will come to the membership for a vote before final action is taken.  The general membership voted to enter the TPA beginning in 2012, so you again will vote - on the settlement.  We will handle the COVID19 protocols in detail when that occurs in the future.

Be assured that our planning efforts continue during this negotiation so that we are fully prepared to proceed in the best interest of the Association.

Many of you have expressed your support and posed questions to us that we have taken into the discussions as we moved forward in this process.  We have also heard from many longtime SWC and WMC players throughout the country.
