Given the concept and its apparent success in terms of patrons drawn to participate, it’s a surprise that more rooms don’t do it more often. For two years in a row, The League Room in Parkersburg, WV has held a Customer Appreciation Tournament. Owner Chris Wilson, with the help of donations and sponsors has put money up for a tournament prize fund and opened his doors for an event that requires no entry fee. In its first year, $3,500 was raised from sponsors and drew 114 entrants. This year’s event (Sept. 16-17) - with $1,500 from sponsors and $2,000 from the room - drew 138 players.
