Is there a "Beginners guide to organising a tournament" out there?

Hi Guys,

I was wondering if you knew of a guide that gives aspiring tournament organisers tips and information.

If you could supply the URL for any applicable information or share your own knowlege, I would appreciate it.

Thanks.

Nah wern't accusing mate, only thing I could think of. I think I posted it during all database error thingies the other day, might have been why I think. Gist of it was publicity is key, all of the advertisment. Also ensure your rules are detailed because ,then if a dispute arised you can jsut point to the rule book instead of making a controvertial call :)

Ok how to run a tornament.

There is a few things you need.

16 players (for a first tornament).
Something like this link.
A forum.
A thread inside your forum that is for screenshots and screenshots ONLY.

To get members what I did was went around as much clan sites as i could be bothered to and advertised. I also PM'd everyone I knew on my xfire with a link to it.

For that you don't need a domain name just a normal freewebs account would be good.

A forum is also easy to get here

Where I have a post like that but people who posted in there they made it confusing. I suggest you have a results decussion thread near by so people can decuss. Anymore questions just ask.
