First off, as you would expect, TPE takes no responsibility for any of the arrangements that arise as a result.  We do not vouch for any stakers or stakees and all risk is left up to the parties involved.

The way this will work is that you can post an thread requesting to be staked, or to offer staking.  At that point ALL DISCUSSION GOES PRIVATE TO YOUR OWN EMAILS.  You should PM each other to get emails and then take it offline.  For example, if someone posts a desire to stake horses, the horses should PM the staker with their email address and then continue the conversation.  

For Stakees

If someone posts a request to be staked, they should post their details (screennames, records, specifics of the stake offered/wanted, etc).  Ask for PMs from interested parties.  You can update once you are staked but do not involve everyone in the conversation of who is staking you or at least interested.

If you are selling a package of one time tourneys you can update with how much is left.  You can also update how you are doing in the tourneys at the time you play them.

For Stakers

You can post your interest in taking on stakees.  They should correspond with you privately from that point on.  Once you have found your stakes you should update the thread

Here's a great example of how to do it: /forum/staking/looking-to-possibly-stake-some-micro-small-stakes-players/

We will not get involved in any disputes in any way, shape or form and if there are too many problems we may discontinue this.  It's all at your own risk.  Only enter deals with people you trust.  Sorry for the strict rules but this is the best way to protect TPE while still offering a way for you guys to connect.

Thanks!
