    Its not deceptive. The kid on the floor clearly says 24 seconds and as part of the insurance requirement the contestant is briefed on the rules before they get out on the court.

    This is such a giant bag of nothing that's been blown up into a mountain....

      The only deception had come from people who don’t know what they’re talking about spreading misinformation. Standard internet stuff.

        Well he got paid 10k and a trip to Arch Madness. Good for him but....

        Its dumb that fake internet outrage (based on incorrect info) is going to cost us and a small company 10k+. I mean everyone will survive but its not like either has unlimited money.

              Completely ridiculous to pay this. The kid has flat out said he understood the rules, but then turns around and puts it on Twitter and has this thing blow up. Hopefully we have a couple LB's from the football team on the court to instantly spear tackle whoever the participant is when the clock hits 0:00 going forward.

                how would they know when to tackle the contestant when there is no visible clock running?

                  Wow, I like this! I think football players as defense on most of our time out activities could really add some excitement. Take the blindfold off that little kid and just put some lineman out there to defend the bag of goodies.

                    This

                    He admits he knew the rules and didn't get it off in time.

                    **** the pay out and **** the kid for crying like that to force fake social outrage.
